Bearskins: The soldiers of the Grenadiers, the Coldstream, the Scots, Welsh and Irish Guards are instantly recognised in their tall, bearskin hats. Many of these are made by the firm of L. Silberston and Sons Ltd., of London. The final sewing up is completed. The fur will be combed and clipped to a uniform thickness of four inches before the hat is finished. 1957 ©2006 TopFoto/Ken Russell
