The black Victorian top hat is the most formally correct hat in the Novella Hats range. It carries 200 years of British formal dressing history in its 14.5cm crown and 5.5cm brim, and it occupies the highest register of the British hat hierarchy with a clarity that nothing else in the range can match.

Handcrafted from 100% wool with a 14.5cm crown height and a 5.5cm brim, the hat has the full Victorian topper proportions that define the silhouette. The satin interior lining provides comfort for extended formal wearing and the PVC sweatband manages moisture throughout the occasion. Multiple sizes available.

The black top hat belongs to evening formal occasions, black tie events, theatrical performances, and the most formal end of the British social calendar. It is the hat that says everything that needs to be said about the level of occasion before the wearer has been introduced.

Novella Hats has sold over 10,000 hats with a Trustpilot Great rating. At $59.99 with free US shipping on qualifying orders, the black Victorian wool top hat is the definitive formal hat.
