Side-whiskers and goatees disappear in the United Kingdom by the mid 1870s, after which men tend to be clean-shaven or to wear a mustache only.

The Homburg felt hat, introduced in the 1870s, is popularized by the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) after he visits Bad Homburg in Hesse, Germany, and brings back a hat of this style, characterized by a single dent running down the center of the crown (called a "gutter crown"), a stiff brim shaped in a "kettle curl", a bound edge trim, and a grosgrain hatband.

The original Homburg is of slightly more generous proportions than the modern version.

Also popular at this time for sports and country wear in Britain is the deerstalker cap (which Sir Arthur Conan Doyle will immortalize in his Sherlock Holmes stories).
