Chapeau!

Hats have returned to men's wardrobes, worn as a finishing touch or as a bold statement. This illustrated volume of about 200 pages gathers a broad selection of headwear, from relaxed to elegant, intended as a reference for men who care about how they dress.

The book traces more than a thousand years of men's headwear. It looks at how hats began as practical protection, how they became fashion pieces, and how they have sometimes carried political meaning. Readers meet familiar styles such as the trilby, the flat cap, the fedora and the beanie, and see the range of shapes, materials and construction that different designs offer.
