Not long ago they were an essential part of any man's wardrobe, and many men will not contract out without him. Then the venerable man's hat faded as times have changed and a new generation of Americans went without him. Now, some experts predict a return style. Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: a hat, not only protects the head, which offers a perfect "crowning" touch to your wardrobe.
The early history of hats
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.
In the 19th century, hats were tailored to the individual, and the material and the craftsmanship of a man's hat denoted wealth and status. With the advent of mass production techniques in the second half of the period, thousands of hats were produced in factories, making them available to the working classes.
