About This Book

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.

THE COBURG.

For style and form has strong claims to favour; but, being rather small in appearance, the wearer, to show to most advantage, should be somewhat slender in his make, features not too prominent, and in stature about five feet five to five feet ten, but neither above nor below. One great advantage attending this Hat is, that the shape of the wearer's nose is not at all material, provided it be not of that class known by the term "bottled." It may be worn a little aside, but by no means placed too far on the head, a failing very general among country gentlemen.
