Derby or Bowler?

Bowler shhhhhhhh

O.K., I confess! Alas, I think BOWLERNATORS should be admitted to the club for diversity aspects. lol :coffee:

The Bowler Bowery
The Derby Dive

Something... I don't know. No offense!

what's the exact difference between a Derby, a Bowler and a Coke hat? :eusa_doh: If I'm not mistaken, a Bowler and a Coke hat are one in the same, if so....what's the difference between a Derby and a Bowler?

 

[MattJH]

There may have been a time when there was an actual difference between derbies and bowlers (perhaps derbies were exclusive to the horse niche, and bowlers to the urban industrial niche), but as a matter of actual style and construction, I've never discovered a difference at all. They seem to be 100% interchangeable terms, and were probably just regional terms (ex: sub/hoagie or soda/pop).

A Derby is American and a Bowler is British, it's as simple as that.

There are some style differences between both hats. James H. Knapp, of Crofut & Knapp, creator of the Derby, did make some changes to distinguish Derbies from Bowlers. The crown was not belled and the brim was flatter, both on the sides and front and back -- not the brim curl, mind you, just the flange of the brim. A more pronounced upward curl of the sides, and front to back droop of the brim, were more typical of Bowlers. The crown on Bowlers was originally taller than that of the Derby, and more domed, but that changed over time.

Thanks Brad, I knew I could count on you. By the way, I think you look best in one, over any other type of hat out there.

This one's for Dreispitz. Looks more Jakes Blues than Derbynator, though.

Dynafelt derby. This derby has a soft top so I still need to add a quality derby to my collection. The cook at the diner keeps offering to buy this hat. The sportcoat and sunglasses are actually darker when away from the flash.

I like this modern twist on the Derby.
