On This Day

Top hat In 1797, the top hat was first worn in England by James Heatherington, a Strand haberdasher in London. An issue of the Times of that period records that when he left his shop with his extraordinary headwear, a crowd of onlookers assembled, which degenerated into a shoving match. Consequently, Heatherington was summoned to appear in court before the Lord Mayor and fined £50 for going about in a manner "calculated to frighten timid people." Within a month, he was overwhelmed with orders for the new top hats. In France, a painting by Charles Vernet (1758-1836) titled Un Incroyable de 1796 depicts a dandy of his time wearing a stovepipe hat, which might be interpreted as an earlier appearance of the top hat.* [p.159, with name revised from John Etherington based on email of 5 Feb 2005 from descendant Other internet sources state date of 5 Jan 1797.]
