Description

An absolutely superb example of a silk top hat and leather hat box, both from the early 20th century. The finely-stitched tan leather hat box has a strong handle, impeccable stitching throughout, all four studs to the base, a leather hinge to the lid in superb order, a good clean interior, and - almost unheard of - a lock with its original key in perfect working order. The silk top hat is by one of the most revered London makers - Henry Heath (by warrant to His Majesty the King) - and is in the best condition we've ever seen for a vintage topper: the stitching, the felt band, the silk itself — all in astonishingly well-preserved order. The hat's overall proportions can be described as a good medium size — unlike so many on the market that are too small. The internal circumference is approximately 58cm, and the opening is precisely 16cm across and 20.4cm from front to back. These dimensions can be compared to hats that are known to fit and could act as a guide to suitability.
