The Victorian wool top hat is one of the oldest continuously produced hat designs in the world. The tall straight crown, the flat brim, and the proportions that define the silhouette have remained essentially unchanged since the early nineteenth century, which is either a testament to how correct the original design was or to how deeply it is embedded in formal dressing culture. Almost certainly both.

Handcrafted from 100% wool felt with a 14.5cm high crown and 5.5cm brim that deliver the authentic Victorian topper proportions. Satin interior lining and PVC sweatband throughout for the formal wearing comfort this hat is designed to provide. Available in multiple sizes.

For formal occasions, theatrical performances, Victorian costumes, themed events, and anyone building a formal hat wardrobe that starts from the most historically significant hat silhouette available.
