Hatmakers over the past three centuries used mercury in their work, and some hatters experienced nervous disorders, odd behavior, and even symptoms of madness. But why were the hatters mad? Did the brim curlers sniff glue? No, what they sniffed was mercury.

The Hat City's Past
Danbury Connecticut has always been known as "The Hat City". It was the hat making capital of the world in the 19th century. At first the felt fur hats were made by hand in small shops. During the 1830's, more people were employed in hatmaking there than in any other trade. Some farmers were known to pull out a kettle, gather some furs, and hang up a hatter's shingle as a cottage industry in lean times.

European hatters brought their trade with them when they emigrated to North America. It became such a successful industry that in 1731, King George II banned exports of hats from the colonies to benefit hatters in England. The city of Danbury had all of the necessary prerequisites for a successful hatmaking industry: abundant water, transportation, animal furs, and plentiful labor.

Local legend says the first Danbury hatter might have been Zoe Benedict. Wool felt was already made in many parts of the world. But Benedict found a new twist. Being a busy New England Yankee, when he got a hole in his shoe, he plugged it with a scrap of rabbit fur. Later he discovered that pressure and perspiration had transformed it into felt. He experimented with fur felt, shaping large pieces into hats on his bedpost. His shop opened on Main Street in 1780, making beaver hats at the rate of three per day.

Business boomed, because everyone then wore hats! Hats were indicators of gender, occupation, social status, season, interests, and personality. Abraham Lincoln's famous stovepipe hats were made of beaver felt, and may have been made in Danbury. Hatmaking spread to a smaller degree to other towns in the state. Danbury was burned by British troops in 1777, during the American Revolutionary War, but another revolution, this time Industrial, brought hatmaking back with a vengeance. With mechanization, factories sprang up.

At the peak of the industry, five million hats a year were produced in 56 different factories in Danbury. A process called "carroting" was used in the production, but it had nothing to do with vegetables. Carroting involved washing animal furs with an orange-colored solution containing a mercury compound, mercury nitrate.

The colorful solution facilitated the separation of the fur from the pelt and made it mat together smoothly. The fur was then shaped into large cones, then shrunk in boiling water and dried many times before final shaping, smoothing, and finishing. Workers would often be exposed to mercury vapors in the steamy air. Many hatters with long-term exposure, particularly those involved in carroting, got mercury poisoning.

Mercury poisoning attacks the nervous system, causing drooling, hair loss, uncontrollable muscle twitching, a lurching gait, and difficulties in talking and thinking clearly. Stumbling about in a confused state with slurred speech and trembling hands, affected hatters were sometimes mistaken for drunks. The ailment became known as łThe Danbury Shakes˛. In very severe cases, they experienced hallucinations.

"Mad as a hatter" became a common term for someone experiencing severe mental problems. Some hatters eventually died of mercury poisoning. In 1934, following intense objections from hattersą labor unions, a major scientific study was performed and documented mercury poisoning in hatters. Processes to mat felt that did not include mercury were developed, and by 1943 all use of mercury in hatmaking ceased. Processes to mat felt that didnąt include mercury were developed.

From 1950 to 1960, hats declined in fashion as styles changed, and remaining factories began to move to other locations. The late President John F. Kennedy is thought to have contributed to the decline of hat wearing, as the "first hatless U.S. President" although the First Lady certainly did her part to promote the pillbox style. One of the last big factories to leave Danbury was the Mallory Factory, which had its heyday in the mid-1800's. By 1960, though, it had combined with several other large manufacturers: Lee, Stetson, and Disney. (Stetson was and still is well known for making State Troopers' hats, and Disney --well, you know.) Thus, the hats are gone (though they say you can still find the old beauties at yard sales and flea markets in the area).

I take issue with your use of the superlative in implying that all men are guilty of failing to where a decent and classy hat... see below. This is my custom made 18th century tricorne that I had a designer in Los Angeles make for me. It is made to resemble a 1740s era Life Guard (not lifeguard) tricorne, and despite what you think is not nautical at all. I where this from time to time, and not as a goof. Hardly anyone says anything, inclidentally.

I have a hat and I will wear it on occaision. It takes a certain look to pull it off though, I would feel silly wearing it with a t-shirt and sneakers.

Hats tend to be too hot most of the year and they fuck up your hair, plus it's probably based out of some asinine puritanical belief that it was decent to cover your head so God couldn't see your dirty thoughts or some shit. Reilly probably wants to go back to when showing a bare elbow was taboo, too. GET WITH THE TIMES, YOU DIZZY SKIRT.

I'm not insane. And I hardly think one AK-47 is heavily armed. That's why it's classified as a "small arm."

If it's really hot out, a hat protects your scalp, face, and neck from the Sun by offering a modicum of personal shade.

And making your head a zillion times more overheated by basically putting clothes onto it, which then adversely effects the rest of your body. We're not talking baseball caps here...these fuckers were likely wool or something heavy and HOT.

It won't make you hotter, it will keep in sweat though, which you might confuse for being hotter. In Phoenix, where I lived for 15 years, you could easily wear long sleeves and a hat when the temperture was 120, as the sweat would evaporate from your skin the moment it appeared due to the low humidity. In fact when tempatures are extremely hot your core temp stays cooler by keeping covered.... and I'm not BSing you on that one.
