{"product_id":"the-hats-that-made-britain-david-long-9780750993814","title":"The Hats That Made Britain: A History of the Nation Through Its Headwear","description":"Many of the world's most famous hats have their origins in Britain; in the Middle Ages there were civil and religious laws requiring hats to be worn and in Victorian Britain a person would no more leave home without a hat than a pair of trousers. It is no surprise that London's oldest surviving shop, Lock and Co., is a hatter. From practical everyday caps and bonnets to military headwear, top hats, and even the coronation crown, hats of all sorts have passed through its doors and continue to do so after more than 300 years.In this fascinating new book David Long reveals how much of Britain's social history can be understood through its headwear, and in exploring the ways in which a hat speaks volumes about its wearer's rank and status he tells the stories of the people beneath some of the most famous hats of history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Long\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0750993812\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780750993814\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 1.00d","brand":"David Long","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48443652866303,"sku":"9780750993814","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_30f5a966-2c67-4c6a-af5d-4a079710de5d.jpg?v=1777206902","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-hats-that-made-britain-david-long-9780750993814","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
