The History of the Gentleman's Boater Hat and its Place in Society (HD)

An address to the New Sheridan Club by the Earl of Essex on 5th October 2022 (nobly delivered at short notice following a last-minute cancellation). You'll find the live-streamed version here too, but this version, recorded to disk and uploaded later, has better picture and sound quality.

I love the boater hat and have been wearing them since 1991. I really enjoyed your presentation. Where can one find replacement hat ribbons for a boater? Thank you!

I'm sure that Lock would do it, but they'd doubtless charge a silly amount of money. It is an issue, as Olney, the main manufacturer (who, rumour had it, actually made's Lock's boaters) went bust during lockdown. Perhaps the best solution is to befriend a seamstress who can copy the size, shape and bow on your existing one.
