The hat trade flourished all over England but none compared to Luton which became the center for hat production on an enormous scale. Astonishingly at Luton's height, the town was producing thousands of hats a year! Every person wore and owned several hats for different conditions and occasions. It was also one of the most common presents to receive for a birthday or Christmas. At its height in the 19th Century, almost every person in Luton was in some way connected to the hat trade.
