America!
hatmakers. Alternatives to mercury use in hatmaking became available by 1874. In the United States, a hydrochloride-based process was patented in 1888 to obviate the use of mercury, but was ignored. 29) In 1898, legislation was passed in France to protect hatmakers from the risks of mercury exposure. By the turn of the 20th century, mercury poisoning mon Bris hates had become a rarity. 2[30] Picture postcard of a hat factory in Danbury (postmarked 1911) In the United States, the mercury-based process continued to be adopted until as late as 1941, when it was abandoned mainly due to the wartime need for the heavy metal in the manufacture of detonators. (27) (29) Thus, for much of the 20th century mercury poisoning remained common in the U.S. hatmaking industries, including those located in Danbury, Connecticut (giving rise to the expression the "Danbury shakes"). 14] [26]

Finished teaching my first hatmaking classes yesterday. 11 students 'graduated' with a new hat and new skills. Here's some of those results. I plan to teach another series in the fall. Thinking I might now develop a DIY kit for sale (news at 11 :)

I'm playing with wardrobe pieces today for the Festive Season. This is my ensemble for my retirement party in January, minus the traveling coats and hat. The invite was Asian-arts themed, as a nod to my early hatmaking and costuming. So I added my antique Chinese skirt as bustle, as a nod back : )
Victorian inspired ensemble with skirt, lobster tail bustle, shirt, vest and an antique Chinese Panel Skirt that was too damaged to restore, but made a perfect overdrape. The ensemble is blue, the panel skirt is rusty orange.
