A practical handbook that catalogs a variety of hat shapes, offering clear visual descriptions and advice on how each should be worn. It matches individual styles to different face shapes and body types, explains positioning and effect, and notes age and size considerations. A technical section lays out the hat-making process, materials, and rules for preservation, while chapters describe the customs and regulations of journeymen hatters and other trade practices. The text is accompanied by engraved plates that illustrate the distinct forms and recommended wearing manners.
In point of form and fine proportions, this Hat cannot fail to rank high in general estimation. Its appearance very much resembles the Wellington, or rather it is between the Wellington and the Marquis; and, like the latter, there is that becoming style, which not only harmonizes, but gives a peculiar grace to the majority of its wearers.
