The bowler hat, or the "Derby", was designed by the hatters James and George Lock of Mr. Lock of St. James's Street in the central London district of St. James. James Lock & Co. was founded in 1676 and the bowler hat was introduced in 1849. The Locks would send their design to hatmakers Thomas and William Bowler, who produced a prototype of the hat and renamed it “The Bowler." Originally, the hat’s material was manufactured to be hard and durable in order to protect one’s head against low tree branches while riding horseback.
