HATS

The London Chronicle1762
Hats are now worn, upon an average, six inches and three fifths broad in the brim, and cocked between Quakerand Kevenhuller. Some have their hats open before, like a church-spout, or the tin scales they weigh flour in;some wear them rather sharper, like the nose of a grey-hound; and we can distinguish by the taste of the hat themode of the wearers mind. There is a military cock, and the mercantile cock; and while the beaux of St. James's
wear their hats under their arms, the beaux of More-fields mall wear theirs diagonally over their left or right eye;sailors wear the sides of their hats uniformly tucked down to the crown; and look as if they carried a triangularapple-pasty upon their heads.
I hope no person will think us disa!ected, but when we meet with any of the new raised infantry wearing thebuttons of their hats blu!before, and the trefoil white worsted shaking as they step, we cannot help thinking ofFrench figure dancers.
With Quakers, it is a point of their faith not to wear a button or a loop tight up, their hats spread over theirheads like a penthouse and darken the outward man, to signify that they have inward light. Some wear theirhats (with the corners, which should come over their foreheads, in a direct line) pointed into the air; those arethe Gawkies. Others do not above half cover their heads, which is indeed owing to the shallowness of theircrowns; but between beaver and eyebrows expose a piece of blank forehead, which looks like a sandy road in asurveyors plan . Indeed, people should hide as much of the face under their hats as possible; for very few thereare but what have done something, for which they ought to be out of countenance.
