Bowler or Derby Hat in Steampunk Style, crafted from 100% vegetable-tanned leather, is completely handmade and hand-stitched. It comes in all sizes and is available in brown and black. Originally created in 1849 by London hat-makers Thomas and William Bowler, it was designed to protect gamekeepers from low-hanging branches while riding horseback. Surprisingly, the bowler became the most popular hat in the American West, earning the title "the hat that won the West." Its snug fit made it ideal for cowboys, railroad workers, lawmen, and even outlaws like Bat Masterson, Butch Cassidy, and Billy the Kid. In the U.S., it was known as the derby, with figures like Marion Hedgepeth famously nicknamed "the Derby Kid."
Steampunk Goggles pair perfectly with the bowler hat. Made from 100% vegetable-tanned leather with acrylic lenses, they feature brass accents, rivets, and buckles. Adjustable in size, these goggles are also available in brown and black to complete the look.
