Add to basketThe Silk Rebellion: A Chronicle of Three Dandies
"The Silk Rebellion" follows three unlikely friends across seven decades of British history: Edmund Ashbury, an aristocrat hiding progressive sympathies; John Hetherington, an ambitious hatmaker whose silk top hat caused a riot in 1797; and Sebastian Wilde, a writer chronicling their era through fashion's lens.
From the French Revolution to Queen Victoria's coronation, the trio navigates war, industrialization, and social upheaval while maintaining their "Dandy Triumvirate." John pioneers industrial safety reforms while finding forbidden love; Edmund loses his fortune but gains political influence; Sebastian transforms from social butterfly to serious chronicler of their changing world.
As fashion evolves from Georgian excess to Victorian restraint, their friendship endures across class boundaries and personal struggles. Through Sebastian's unfinished manuscript-the novel's framing device-we witness how style becomes political statement and how three men's devotion to both elegance and each other helps reshape British society.
