Vintage Bowler and Top Hats

I love seeing a man in a hat and these are two great examples.

The bowler hat was created in 1849 for the British soldier and politician Edward Coke.  The bowler hat is a hard felt hat with a rounded crown and became popular among working class in the Victorian era.  It also became part of a banker's uniform.

The top hat, also known as a topper, worn by men from the middle of the 18th century to the middle of the 20th century.  It is typically used as a symbol in cartoons and communist media.
