Bowler hat - Yamatakabo

Japanese: 山高帽 - やまたかぼう
Bowler hat - Yamatakabo

This hat is primarily for men, modeled after a stiff felt hat made by British milliner William Bowler in 1850. It has a narrow brim and a round, low crown. It was worn for city wear and business, as well as for formal riding. In England it is called a bowler, and in America it is called a derby. Its name comes from the fact that the 12th Earl of Derby wore one when he appeared at the Derby racecourse, which he founded. It began to be worn in Japan in the early Meiji period. From the 1880s onwards, various types of hats were suddenly adopted as a must-have for short-haired heads, and the bowler hat, along with the frock coat and cane, was worn as a typical part of gentlemen's attire until the early Showa period.

Japanese:

イギリスの帽子屋ボーラーWilliam Bowlerが1850年に出した堅いフェルト製の帽子を原型にした、主として男子用帽子。ブリムが狭く、クラウンは丸くて低い。街着やビジネス用にかぶるほか、正式な乗馬用の帽子として用いられていた。イギリスではボーラーbowlerとよばれるが、アメリカではダービーderbyという。12代ダービー伯爵が、自分の創設したダービー競馬場にこれをかぶって現れたことからきている。日本でかぶり始めたのは明治の初期である。明治20年代から、断髪頭に帽子は欠かせないものとして各種の帽子が急に採用されたが、山高帽もフロックコートやステッキとともに、紳士の典型的な服装の一部として昭和初期までかぶられた。
