"Hatter" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
A hatter is a person who makes or sells hats, traditionally from felt or other materials. The term can also refer to a mad hatter, which is a figure of speech originating from the 17th century, where hatters were known to be exposed to the intense fumes of mercuric nitrate, a substance used to shape felt, which could cause their hair to fall out, leading to a popular stereotype of the "mad hatter" due to their erratic behavior.
