I love being able to see something to get a true feel for how it appears. Below are some examples of 1870 Gentlemen's Hats. They represent the latest in fashion for 1870. The differences are subtle from what you would see on men today. Take the first hat for example, a top hat, note the longer and curved brim. Today the brim is not the same, nor is the top of the hat flared as much. Personally I love the top hat but my husband has never had the occasion to wear one. My son when he was only seven years old did, for my sister's wedding.

ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the pictures Lynn. My youngest son wore a top hat for his senior prom, he looks so dashing in it.

Great pictures but what are the names of them? So we can recognize them when reading our historicals.
