“One of the most necessary features of a public man’s equipment is some distinctive mark which everyone learns to look for and to recognize,” Churchill said. He nurtured many such features, particularly headgear. His choice of a hat for an occasion was never happenstance but a thoughtfully conceived notion of the image and the impact he wanted to portray. He acquired hundreds of hats in every genre: military, political, formal, equestrian, leisure, even an Indian headdress.
