Trivia
- The Tom Bowler, or Billycock, was originally designed for horseback riders. The tighter-fitting brim and relatively low crown made it harder to topple off its owner's head. Some had complained of low tree branches knocking off their silk top hats, which were the preferred style of the gentry at the time.
- The popularity of the bowler hat increased in young men during the 1960s and 1970s after the release of Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange.
- This hat is similar to the one worn by Oddjob, a villain from the James Bond series.
- A similar hat was also worn by the British agent John Steed in the 1960s Spy Fi television series The Avengers.
- The Spy's Billycock looks similar to the Modest Pile of Hat. However, the Modest Pile of Hat is grey, and has a rim around it.
