The Oversized Tall Wool Bowler Hat That Is the Outfit
There are hats that complete an outfit and hats that are the outfit. The handmade oversized tall wool bowler hat from Novella Hats belongs firmly in the second category. With a dramatic 20cm elongated crown built on the classic bowler form, 100% premium wool construction, and a ribbon bow detail, this is a hat that demands attention from the moment it enters a room — and holds it throughout the event.

Choose Your Colour — Choose Your Statement
Pink — Pink turns the oversized tall hat from theatrical into joyful. Where deeper tones read as dramatic, pink reads as celebratory. This is the hat for a hen party, a birthday event, a festival, or any occasion where the brief is to have a good time and look like you are having one.
Purple — The most theatrical of the range. Purple commands a room and works best at events where dramatic dressing is not only accepted but expected: festivals, opera, theatre, film and TV productions, and themed occasions.
Grey — The understated version of a statement hat. Grey gives the dramatic crown height without the colour intensity, making it the most versatile option across costume, fashion, and event wear.
Chocolate Brown — Rich and grounded. Brown brings an earthy, heritage quality to the oversized silhouette and pairs well with autumnal and period-inspired looks.
What It's Made For
This oversized tall bowler hat is the right choice when the occasion demands something extraordinary. It is worn at music festivals, hen parties, birthday events, Halloween, opera nights, theatre performances, film and TV costume productions, themed events, and any occasion where dramatic dressing is the explicit brief. The premium wool construction gives it a weight and presence that cheaper theatrical alternatives cannot match.
Sizing — One Size, 56cm to 60cm
The hat fits head circumferences from 56cm to 60cm. The adjustable internal band ensures a comfortable, secure fit throughout that range. For a hat with a 20cm crown, a secure fit matters — it prevents tipping and means you can wear it throughout the event without constant adjustment. Measure around your head just above the ears to confirm your fit before ordering.
