I've been reading about Theodore Roosevelt a lot lately, and all of the biographies and documentaries feature images that suggest the man must have owned a lot of hats over his lifetime. Active as he was, I suspect he wore many of them out.
But it made me wonder whether fur felt hats were as disposable to earlier generations as ballcaps and supermarket straw hats are today.
Did gentlemen of earlier times tend to own one hat at a time, or a number of hats for different uses, as many of us do?
thanks, Z
