I knew this hat looked familiar.

Also, congrats to Perpetua for his achievement in TF2! It's not everyday that you dominate someone wearing a gibus!

Eighteen-Forties Friday: When Hat is Flat

A French political cartoon of 1848 (detail) shows "Le peuple" (in phrygian cap) crushing the hat of Guizot with the quip, "Tiens, Guisot, avec ton chapeau je te fais un Gibus" (Here, Guisot, with your hat I'll make you a Gibus). Paris Musées collection.

Gibus, Gibus hat

(M)

Period: 1840s onwards.

A top hat with a collapsible crown, the sides of which contained, concealed within the lining, a metal “lazy tongs”; when flat the hat could be carried under the arm. Worn with evening dress and replacing the earlier elastic round hat. Named after its inventor.

— Valerie Cumming, The Dictionary of Fashion History

The inventor of the Gibus was Antoine Gibus, and his creations were also called opera hats (because they easily folded to be stored under the seat at the opera), and chapeaux claques, from the clicking sound when collapsed.

Victor Hugo owned one in the 1840s, as revealed in an 1847 letter from his mistress Juliette Drouet (also in the Paris Musées) with the line: Mon pauvre petit Toto tiens bien ton Gibus. (My poor little Toto hold on to your Gibus). I just wanted to find a picture of this stupid hat and not learn about Victor Hugo's weird pet names, but here we are.

After 8 Years

Jan 25, 2014 was the day that I first ever played my favorite game of all time, Team Fortress 2. I don’t quite remember exactly how that day played out but all I know is that I had a blast and all I can remember is throughout these 8 years I’ve had nothing but good times in this game. To this very day I still enjoy this game very very much. I’m pretty sure that Tf2 was the first game to introduce me to online multiplayer and over these years I’ve met countless people and said hello to new friends and said goodbye. I know that 8 isn’t a significant milestone, its usually 5 years or 10 years, but this was the year where I looked at when the first time I played was and it hit me like a truck. 8 years....... I practically grew up playing this game and I wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you TF2 for all the good times and I look forward to many more in the future.
