🌟 DID YOU KNOW?
🌟 Bowler hats used to dominate the streets of the City of London in the middle of the nineteenth century. They were created in 1849 by Edward Coke, the younger brother of the Earl of Leicester. Coke ordered the first one from the London hatters Lock & Co., who sub-contracted the order to Thomas and William Bowler. It was designed by himself to protect the heads of his gamekeepers from low-hanging branches – their top hats kept getting knocked off.
