Many of the world's most famous hats have their origins in Britain;
in the Middle Ages there were civil and religious laws requiring
hats to be worn and in Victorian Britain a person would no more
leave home without a hat than a pair of trousers. It is no surprise
that London's oldest surviving shop, Lock and Co., is a hatter.
From practical everyday caps and bonnets to military headwear, top
hats, and even the coronation crown, hats of all sorts have passed
through its doors and continue to do so after more than 300 years.
In this fascinating new book David Long reveals how much of
Britain's social history can be understood through its headwear,
and in exploring the ways in which a hat speaks volumes about its
wearer's rank and status he tells the stories of the people beneath
some of the most famous hats of history.
