A bowler hat, or derby, is a rounded felt hat commonly worn from the 1850s to the early-to-mid-1900s, especially in Victorian Britain and The Wild West. They were invented as a more compact alternative to a top hat, with the small size, round shape, and harder materials being selected for their original purpose — protecting riders' heads for equestrian country sports (which frequently involved going through trees or simply falling off one's horse). Bowler hats were once considered the national hat of England, and used to be associated with the upper-middle class there, especially with bankers, in the early half of the 20th century. You can count on a character who wears a bowler hat to be refined (unless, say, he's a villain in a western). In fact, he might even wear a monocle to show his culturedness. The bowler hat hung on in the City of London into the 1960s. In the early 1960s, new recruits to some City law firms got an allowance for the purposes of buying a bowler. A lesser known fact about them (amongst non-wearers) is that they're quite hard (because of both the heavy felt and the shape), which meant that construction foremen (or businessmen visiting a construction site) would sometimes wear them instead of hard hats. Compare and contrast Dastardly Dapper Derby, although they can overlap- see Wicked Cultured. Compare Sharp-Dressed Man, Quintessential British Gentleman, Man of Wealth and Taste. |

Speedwagon of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood initially appears as a roguish street tough wearing one of these (with saw blades in the brim!), making it a Dastardly Dapper Derby. However, after getting his ass kicked by Jonathan and being charmed by the Joestar's wholesome nature his hat ends up this trope instead before he replaces it. | |

Monty Python's Flying Circus often used these as indicative of bankers and accountants. Probably the principal factor in the demise of the bowler hat was "Monty Python's Flying Circus"'s infamous sketch, "The Ministry Of Silly Walks", which commenced with John Cleese, in full Civil Service getup, including bowler hat, walking down Whitehall toward his office, doing an impression of a spider on a hotplate; for ever afterward, anyone foolhardy enough to venture out of doors wearing a bowler risked being accosted by idiots demanding that they do a Silly Walk. | |
