Henry Heath Hat Factory produced handmade headwear of such fine quality it earned warrants to EVII (1841-1910), GV (1865-1936) GVI (1895-1952) and King Alphonso XIII (1886-1941) and the Royal Courts of United Kingdom and Spain. Henry Heath’s primary product was top hats, which were made using felted fur from “Beaver Otter, Rabbits, Hares and Musk Rats. George Heath Junior was the Managing Director of the company in 1900 but at the time Heath's hats were becoming less and less fashionable, he committed suicide on 2 February 1910.
