Made in the USA
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 around 1676. 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.
Peaking in popularity towards the end of the 19th century, the style offered some middle ground between the formality of the top hat associated with upper classes, and the casual nature of soft flat hats worn by working classes. As the traditional headwear of "gentlemen", the bowler has become something of an English cultural icon. Back in the states, Bollman has consistently produced the timeless Bowler/Derby style throughout its 140 years of operation, in catering to a demand that has endured for decades. We suspect that Charlie Chaplin, one of the first movie stars and a famous bowler wearer, chose a Bollman Bowler.
