Totally outrageous. The article says that the new hats will be of "plastic fiber." How many cute little plastics will have to be slaughtered for their fiber to meet the demand? Totally outrageous.
Oh yes, a commited anarcho-dandyist. Why young Master 'Atters' Attree himself is a neighbour of mine, runs a fine emporium of objets d'art in the North Laine

Much better Guards attire:
Donkey wallopers
The bearskin has a fine history, initially it was worn by the Grenadier Guards after they defeated the French Imperial Guard at Waterloo. The FIG were thought to be the elite troops of their day, they were usually kept in reserve and when they were deployed the enemy usually crumbled. When the victorious Brits (dressed in the stovepipe hats typical of the infantry of the time) held the vanquished French bearskins aloft after kicking the shit out of them, Wellington recommended the Guards should wear them as a trophy. The Grenadier Guards have worn them since, and the other foot guards followed suit.
