EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this intriguing advertisement for a head-measuring band for hats from Henry Heath, a prominent hat manufacturer of the late 19th century. Dated 1880, this advertisement showcases the innovative approach of Henry Heath's mail order service, which enabled customers to accurately measure their heads to ensure a perfect fit for their new hats. The advertisement features a dapper gentleman, dressed in the fashionable attire of the 1880s, holding a measuring tape and gazing intently at the camera. The text below the image reads, "Send for our Head Measuring Band, free of charge, and have your hats made to your exact size." This service would have been particularly valuable during an era when hats were an essential component of men's fashion and a well-fitted hat was a sign of refinement and good taste. Henry Heath's hat manufacturing business was renowned for its high-quality hats and commitment to customer satisfaction. By offering a mail order head-measuring band, the company was able to expand its reach beyond local customers and attract a wider clientele. This advertisement represents the ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit of the 19th century, as well as the importance of accurate measurements in achieving a flawless fit for clothing items, even in the days before mass-produced, standardized sizing. This advertisement is a testament to the rich history of clothing manufacturing and the evolution of mail order services, which continue to shape the way we shop for and receive our clothing today.
