The Silk Hat in the House of Commons Folklore
A long colonial style reminiscence recounts how Parliament's hat tradition began and evolved. It describes Hetherington and his silk hat incident, rules about hat removal in debates, and how hats became a visible symbol of decorum. The account weaves through 18th century customs to late parliamentary procedures and includes humorous anecdotes of hat etiquette and decorum breaches.
