What do you call a person who makes hats?
Correct answer: Milliner
Angusmal
usless info alert- the expression "mad as a hatter" comes from the use of mercury in hat making

LibraLady1010, miliners make ladies hats, hatters make mens hats

my great-grandmother was a milliner and my mother knew how to sew hats of all kinds and make costumes and all kinds of clothes for men women children anything even without a pattern

I have a wonderful hat collection. Derby, fedora, Jungle Jim, coolie, cockney, Stetson, Zermatt, fez, Sou'Wester, many others. You get the idea.

Wendell Thomas, and a lot of men where hats at the table while dinning. Good manners are a thing g if the past. My son who is 31, if he is wearing a baseball cap if he enters a restaurant or someones home to eat, he always takes his hat off.

WalkinDoom, You nailed it! When you see old movies almost everyone, including the kids, has some cool kind of hat on.

Mstan60, We do here in Australia. With our hot sun it's dangerous not to. Akubras are the best. wide brimmed and smart looking too.

Pchblsom, you raised him right. I find it appalling that men have to be reminded to remove their hats for the National Anthem at sporting events.

How many know that one of our U. S. Presidents was a milliner/habidasher? Harry S. Truman, started out that way before he became a politician.

Mstan60, We do still wear hats, they're just not classy hats anymore, ball caps and porkpies....

Angusmal, I thought the mercury was used to clean the felt top hats.
Deborah
Although baseball caps are common in summer, come winter in Canada, everyone wears a toque. And PLEASE, all you Americans reading this, do NOT call it a "beanie".
super fantastic
I wonder how much Queen Elizabeth's milliner makes per year? She has some super fantastic hats!

My partner wears an Akubra hat. He reckons it says style. I like the look.

Cozzy 25,
We used to know a milliner & her name was Millie. She lived across the road from us & my mum & I used to visit her. She looked like she’d come straight out of the 1920’s, the roaring 20’s. This was in the 60’s. Oh, the good ole days!! 😃

I am a historical hatmaker specializing in American Civil War era and 1880 cowboy hats . All handmade of 20x beaver fur. It is a great skill to have . Ps haymakers make men’s hats and miners make women’s hats .

More useless info alert: Luton Town FC's nickname are The Hatters due to the town's long association with hat making.
