  • An elderly gentleman wearing a traditional bowler hat and carrying a folded newspaper descends the steps from the bright daylight to the dark of the London Underground, before making his way home from Royal Exchange at Bank Triangle by tube. He is one of the last examples of a bygone age, when many in London's financial district wore such work clothes - a way of typifying a breed of Englishness and class system, known all over, and still expected, around the world. Sadly, gents like this are very rare after modern fashions, lower standards and changed attitudes in the workplace meant that younger men no longer wanted to wear a stuffy outfit to work. The days of the bowler are fast disappearing. Behind him are the tall and solid Corinthian pillars of the 3rd Royal Exchange built in 1842 by Sir William Tite.

  • Two women walk past the Charles Tyrwhitt menswear outfitters in Eldon Street in the City of London, the capital's heart of its financial district and a good location for suits and businesswear. A pair of Englishmen raise their bowler hats in a gesture from a previous era, when hats said much of your social standing, a summary of your position in the class system. In the 21st century though, the hat is largely an item of clothing to wear only for extreme cold or heat. A leggy girl strides past the shop frontage, seemingly curious of this bygone gentlemanly tradition.
