Hatter


 

A hatter is a maker or seller of hats. The proverbial expression "mad as a hatter" may refer to the mercury-poisoning suffered by many hatters in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when mercury was used in the manufacture of felt. Milliners are a category of hatters who design women's hats.
