Not the Mad Hatter, though—he is one of the many African immigrants who make it

Ceuta and Melilla on the north coast of Morocco. The young men often start their climb 
on the social ladder by selling clothes, counterfeit sunglasses and the like on the 
beaches:

It seems that there are such sellers on every beach with tourists in the world. I have similar images from Mexico. There, one must be citizen and have a license that costs several hundred dollars per year to sell stuff on the beach without risking arrest.

This reminds me of another sort of hat seller in a very different place. This woman at a huge street fair in Brooklyn is at least 6' 6", say about 200 cm, tall, towering over the crowds. And she is really selling a lot of hats, of many sorts. <http://galleries.moosemystic.net/Brooklyn/People/All%20People/slides/_MG_3414cr.html>
