HAT _ A _ _

17D Less generous, being more lowly bred (6)
_ _ _ N _ _

Case?

17D looks like MEANER

so that makes 18A HAT _A_E, if I understand right (and after a very nice Christmas Day I'm not sure I'm quite all there!)

HAT CASE???

Hi ginge, great minds, eh? I've heard of a hat box but not a hat case.

Hi livs, I also reckoned it had to be meaner so case. I googled it first and it's an integral part of luggage apparently! You couldn't really charge fancy prices for a "box" now, could you?
