FAQs

The silk top hat emerged in the 19th century, replacing beaver fur hats as the standard form of formal headwear for gentlemen during daytime and evening events.

Traditional top hats are constructed using a stiff felt or buckram frame, which is then covered with a plush silk shag or silk plush fabric, featuring a leather sweatband and silk lining inside.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-woven silk plush nap, lightweight internal stiffening materials, maker stamps on the leather sweatband, and often include their original cardboard hat boxes.

An antique top hat makes a sophisticated display object when placed inside a glass cloche, on a bookshelf, or styled alongside other gentlemans accessories in a study or library.

Silk top hats require careful handling with cotton gloves, storage in a temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight, and regular gentle brushing with a soft-bristled brush following the grain of the silk.
