Bowler hat
The bowler hat, also known as a bob hat, derby (US), billycock or bombín,〔(Hat Glossary )〕 is a hard felt hat with a rounded crown originally created in 1849 for the British soldier and politician Edward Coke, the younger brother of the 2nd Earl of Leicester. The bowler hat was popular with the working class during the Victorian era, and later on with the middle and upper classes in the United Kingdom and the eastern United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Coke Estates Ltd. )〕 Later in the United Kingdom, it would come to be worn as civilian work dress by former officers of the Queen's Guard.〔Roetzel, Bernhard (1999). ''Gentleman's Guide to Grooming and Style''. Barnes & Noble.〕 In Bolivia, women of Quechua people have worn bowler hats since the 1920s when British railway workers introduced them there.
== Cultural significance in the United Kingdom and Ireland ==
From the early 20th century bowler hats were commonly associated with businessmen working in the financial districts, also known as "City Gents". The traditional wearing of bowler hats with City business attire died out in the 1980s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of the Bowler Hat )〕 In modern times Bowlers are not common, although the City Gents remain in certain parts of England keeping the tradition alive. The City Gent is arguably the most iconic stereotyped view of an Englishman complete with Bowler and rolled umbrella. For this reason, two bowler-hatted men were used in the logo of the British building society (subsequently bank), Bradford & Bingley.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Who'll get custody of Bradford and Bingley's bowler hat? )〕
In Scotland and Northern Ireland the bowler hat is traditionally worn by members of the main Loyalist fraternities such as the Orange Order, the Independent Loyal Orange Institution, the Royal Black Preceptory and the Apprentice Boys of Derry for their parades and annual celebrations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.demotix.com/news/30876/bowler-hats-sashes-and-banners-orange-order-northern-ireland#media-30870 )〕
