    The art of hat, or the design and crafting of men's hats, dating back almost 500 years in Italy, where seamstresses were responsible for providing a new middle class, with hats, gloves and other small, "haberdashery" factual or created in Milan. In the 1770s, around the same time the United States was the signing of the Declaration of Independence, European couturiers began designing their own styles of hats in France and England.
