CHAP Spring 21, out now, looks back at the Roaring Twenties and compares that thrilling decade to the 2020s.

Other encounters with remarkable men include an afternoon with fizz-swilling bon vivant and cabaret singer Champagne Charlie, as well as Australian hat maker Blake ‘Blakesby’ Canham-Bennett, whose headwear creations have travelled as far as Siberia and Egypt.
