great hat for the price! good fit, sturdy...
I have around 18 hats for different occasions and portrayals, 3 toppers, black brown and gray and a bowler. Can't tell you how many came from Historical Emp. I'm always satisfied with the quality of all their clothing and accessories. Been shopping with them for years.

Size was not very close to what was advertised, and on the label. Hat was misshapen, this for a $95 hat, even if it was made in China.

This is a great product. I love it. I will buy from here again in the future
The hat is very elegant. Got lots of complements. Looks good with steampunk goggles on them. However, the hat is not oval (head-shaped) enough. On my head, it binds at the front and back -- which is sort-of good since it has gaps on the left and right, and only only the front/back pressure is holding it on. Even so, it rocks back-and-forth, left-right as my head tilts.

This hat (like most products I find on here) is durable, yet elegant. It's reinforced quite well to retain its shape including the slight "bell" shape the brim has. It's not a bad price as well.
I'd recommend it.

I purchased this top hat for my fiance to wear at our wedding. This hat is of great quality, the head chart was helpful and the delivery was quick.

Deluxe John Bull Top Hat - Brown
Unbelievable style and quality. Includes excellent feather embellishment not pictured. I shall only remove this hat for sleeping. By far my favorite purchase of 2013. Seems under-priced for such high level of quality.

i have not experienced any of the sizing problems some of the other customers had. this hat fits my head quite nicely and is made from sturdy materials with a very nice silky lining

Fits perfectly. Well made and adds that touch of class you need to dress up any outfit. Love it!
Hat size was a little bit bigger than expected. It was much fatter (side to side) than a normal hat, and much shorter (front to back). It fits on my head, but tents to tilt side to side. I expect I could reshape it, but haven't tried to do so yet, so don't know how that would work.
Fits well, looks sharp, I'm very pleased!
Now I need a top coat to go with it.

I ordered this for my boyfriend for our anniversary. it looks just like the picture and fits pretty well (a little big, but that may have been a measuring error on my part). he practically won't take it off!
