I think I've seen the Bank of England employees wearing them as they wander around London.

They're not quite bowler hats, but they're close enough.

Its one of the strange preconceptions you have before coming to England and i haven't seen anyone yet in one. I am guessing they are quite expensive to buy.

I thought that the men that wore them in London years ago did so when they reached a certain level jobwise in the city

I could be talking complete bollocks though

Bowlers were safety hats - often warn by builders and prosperous tradesmen as opposed to their workers who got no PPE at all. If I had to guess I'd say they became popular in London because of their links to the hunting fraternity and the fact that they were convenient to wear on trains.

Oddjob's bowler was certainly a hard hat

Would you like to borrow TT's Femfatale? Um, well strictly speaking it isn't so much a bowler hat as a brown derby, very dapper mind Do a google search for outcasthats, they've plenty of really smart and cool hats, brown derby's Trilby's, Fadora's, and Pork pies - I love my hats!

You still see a few retired Guards Officers wearing bowler hats around London.

The bowler was the mark of the gaffer in shipyards, in the days when we had shipyards.

There was a time when you'd see nothing but bowler hats in the City. Every accountant used to wear one too, and bank managers.

Anyone seen Mr. Grimsdale lately?
