My plan was to blog the below just before Christmas but other things distracted me and was unable to do so. Now I give you this in the New Year 2013, hope you will enjoy the theme of men's hats as depicted and renditioned in Downton Abbey the series.
Downton Abbey the TV series has caught my attention by the way the male characters are depicted, being very classically, stylishly and very sartorially dressed. For the day I will focus on the men's hats selection & choice.
Nowadays it is very rare to see men in hats (proper hats, and not baseball caps).
The Downton Abbey series portrays the male characters it be from the top of society (Earl of Grantham) to the lower end of society (the male servants i.e. Mr. Carson or and Mr. Bates ) as sartorial gents who utilises the head gear very elegantly and very stylishly as an accessory. I hope that the series will revive and bring the men's head gear back as a staple accessory of any gent's day to day dressing and wardrobe.

ReplyDeleteYou've no idea how happy I am to have found your post! I've been trying to find out the type of hat Anthony Strallan wore at the Garden Path party for months...a Lord's hat! Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this post - was trying to figure out what the name type of hat Lord Grantham wore was, and your page was the one that told me: a Homborg Hat! (never heard of this name before)
