Here are some pictures of my just-released bowler hat. Since it is at present quite hard to get a good close-up view of clothing in Blue Mars, I have shown some details of the hat in separate pictures: the bow and the stitching of the brim. All my hats are similarly detailed.

Thanks to Magellan's Patent Cranial Ordinator, this hat works with all my hairstyles on the standard avatar body.

The bowler hat was worn from about 1850 up until the 1960s. Its use therefore covers more than half the Victorian era. It was never a formal hat per se, until it became identified with business dress of city gents in the 20th Century. It is just as iconic as the top hat in its own way, through its adoption by Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, Steed of The Avengers, and the droogs of A Clockwork Orange.
