I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He LOVES it!! He has worn it several times and everyone stops him to tell how much they love his hat. It is really sharp looking.

I have a collection of three top hats and this one is the nicest I plan on buying the other color I don't have that they sell

Absolutley beautiful hat. Great quality. I highly recommend it to everyone. Historical Emporium is the only place I purchase my hats. Super lightning fast shipping as well.

Have been shopping for a ladies top hat and this, though in the men's section, is a fine enough finish for my use. It is a heavy weight and has nice interior finish details. Would love it in velvet or satin if you are wondering where to branch out! (my steampunkness needs more options) Shipping was fast, Item was as advertised, and I couldnt be more pleased Thanks Historical Emporium!

I don't know how much you know about the E Clampus Vitus group (ECV). But they are either a Historical Drinking Society or a Drinking Historical Society --- Thankfully the debate continues. Anyway, they appeared in California during the Gold Rush and were so important that nobody, no salesman, shop keeper, actors, miner, nobody, could do business in the mining camps unless they were a member of the ECV. It kinda' died out during the Civil War, but then became revitalized in the 1930's as a History Preservation Group. Many times when driving along the streets and roadways you'll see a Historical Marker. When you stop to read what it says, it often shows it was placed there by the ECV. Our colors are red and black --- MAINLY RED ! Red is called the Clamper color. We call our members "Redshirts". Everyone is always trying to come up with a new variation for the use of RED. I am the Peter Lebeck Chapter 1866, ECV's "Consulting Clampstorian" (Historian). The ECV is an all men's group, but at the beginning of each year we hold our "Widder's Ball" (We call our wives or girlfriends --- or BOTH, our Widders) and hold a fancy dress Ball in our ladies' honor. We introduce the new officers and defrock the outgoing President (we call our "Humbug"). Have a great meal, lots of liquid refreshments, and then hold costume contests, followed by a Dance. I just received my new Italian suit, black with red pinstripes --- and to top it off, I purchased your Red Top Hat ! I have a...

I had been looking for a red top hat for some time. Thank you for having this in your shop. Not only is it the perfect color of red, it's quality is unmatched. I have bought many of your hats and they are all of over and above quality. I get so many compliments on them. I attend many Steampunk events and your hats are always a hit. Thanks again. Still buying more.

This hat gets attention! I found a black lace lady's garter to use for a headband and it really gives this hat a punch! The hat fits fine and is very well made.

if you ever thought that you just don't stick out enough with your top hat, try this one. Well made, very sturdy and as bright red as a signal light, this hat is an over-the-top(hat) headturner.
