The bowler hat is a kind of felt hat, which was invented by the Englishman James Kirk in 1850. At first, the starting point of design was to protect the head with hard materials, but it became popular in the late19th century. Mainly, this bowler hat is somewhat similar to the high-top silk hat worn by the upper class, but the price is not so high, and the felt material is easy to clean, so it is very popular among the well-off class.
