Hat shops and the evolution of hats throughout history
If there's one accessory with history, it's the hat. It has almost as much history as humanity itself, as this accessory has been with us for nearly all of life. Hats, and hat shops, arose out of necessity in the countryside to protect from the sun's rays and rain, and over the years it has managed to become an undeniable symbol of class and elegance.
It is so ancient that there is no exact information on what the first one looked like, but it is known that the first record of a top hat with a brim was in the 5th century by hunters and the Greeks. Over the years, this accessory has evolved and adapted to fashions. It has even been an emblematic symbol for movie characters like Sherlock Holmes, Charlie Chaplin, Harry Potter, or Mary Poppins.
Velvet, straw, satin, and felt have been the most used raw materials for making hats. There are hats for both men and women, and of course, for all kinds of occasions and styles. And they served to differentiate social status and make clear which class one belonged to.
On one hand, the common people used hats or even hoods without ornaments that reflected their austerity, and on the other, there was the monarchy with large and showy velvet hats with countless adornments including precious stones, feathers, and ribbons.
