Men's Regency Fashion: The Beaver Felt Top Hat

Ever wonder what the fashion trends were for men in the early 1800s? In this recording of a Facebook LIVE, Jared discusses the rather unpleasant history behind the process of making one of the most iconic symbols of the time: the top hat.

You should have done a video on that stylish man at the beginning. That was Mr Beau Brummel, one of the single most influential people in 19th century fashion, who pretty much set the course of what we know as the suit in motion. And also so much more. The gentleman’s gazette has a great video on him, I suggest anyone who wants to know more about men’s regency fashion watches it.

A haberdasher sells mens clothing. A "hatter" makes hats.
