Christys Black Bowler With Hat Box Short of investing in an authentic “Coke” hat from Lock & Co of St James’s, this bowler (it is only referred to as a coke by Lock & Co) by Christys will certainly cut the mustard.

A bowler hat is a rigid felt hat with a rounded off crown. Also known as a derby in the US, the legend of the bowler hat has it being created in 1849 by Lock & Co. According to legend the hat was commissioned by Edward Coke for use by his gamekeepers to protect their heads from branches while they were riding horseback. The idea behind this was that the hard felt hat would be light enough to wear comfortably yet strong enough to protect them. 1900 Fashion, Mens Hats Fashion, 20th Century Fashion, Quality Hats, Mens Fashion Shoes, Stylish Men
