World Business Report

Available for over a year

If you want to get ahead, get a hat. That was the advertising slogan for the hat-making industry in the 1930s. And for much of the 20th century, it was indeed unthinkable to be seen outside without something on your head. But in the 1960s, sales peaked - then flopped. But a hatting renaissance could be underway. The 麻豆社's Mike Johnson fetched his finest fedora and headed out to celebrate London Hat Week. (Image: Man wearing six hats Credit: Getty Images)
