Its one of the strange preconceptions you have before coming to England and i haven't seen anyone yet in one. I am guessing they are quite expensive to buy. |

I thought that the men that wore them in London years ago did so when they reached a certain level jobwise in the city
I could be talking complete bollocks though

"Yep, I think that was the way, bowler hats for Middle class, Bunnetts/cloth caps for Working class, and top hats for bastards."

Bowlers were safety hats - often warn by builders and prosperous tradesmen as opposed to their workers who got no PPE at all. If I had to guess I'd say they became popular in London because of their links to the hunting fraternity and the fact that they were convenient to wear on trains. |

Oddjob's bowler was certainly a hard hat |

"I want a bowler hat now! "
Would you like to borrow TT's Femfatale? Um, well strictly speaking it isn't so much a bowler hat as a brown derby, very dapper mind Do a google search for outcasthats, they've plenty of really smart and cool hats, brown derby's Trilby's, Fadora's, and Pork pies - I love my hats! |

You still see a few retired Guards Officers wearing bowler hats around London.
The bowler was the mark of the gaffer in shipyards, in the days when we had shipyards. |

"I think I've seen the Bank of England employees wearing them as they wander around London.
They're not quite bowler hats, but they're close enough."
There was a time when you'd see nothing but bowler hats in the City. Every accountant used to wear one too, and bank managers.
Anyone seen Mr. Grimsdale lately? |
