The documentary, filmed in black and white, was a critical examination of the Fairfield Experiment, whereby the industrialist Sir Iain Maxwell Stewart and the trades union introduced new working practices at the shipyard of Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company in Glasgow. It was released onto DVD by the British Film Institute as part of their Tales from the Shipyard boxed-set in February 2011.[2]

The title comes from the tradition where bowler hats were worn by managers within the shipyards while bonnets (cloth caps) were worn by the workers.
