Finally - a top hat shape that I like!
In my Dickens caroling group, I've been using a more generic shaped top hat that was too tall for my overall head and frame shape. This John Bull shape is stylish and just right. It was a bit snug, but I was able to steam it and it stretched right out to fit perfectly!

Great hat!
I plan on wearing the hat with a Regency Tailcoat at this years Dickens on the Strand (Galveston, Texas). It will no doubt fit in well with the other Victorian era outfits at the event.

Too small
Such a waste of time and especially money. Didn't read the fine print about returns and extra costs for hat boxes because of their size.... Unbelievable. The return shipping cost $37.15 for a $75.00 hat. Never again. Won't be shopping with you any longer.

Awesome quality product!! I ordered a black John Bull top hat, and it is beautiful! The sizing was spot on, it arrived much more quickly than I imagined, and in perfect condition. I'm not sure what I expected, but I was more than impressed with both the materials and workmanship, and will gladly recommend Historical Emporium to my friends and colleagues!

Great Price and fits great. I have not worn this hat to an event yet however I can already tell you that I love this hat over the Coachman's that I have previously purchased couple of months ago. Coachman's hat feels cheaply made compared to the John Bull which is Ironic when you compare the prices.

The hat came quickly, the size was appropriate. The shape around the hat band is a tad strange, but I believe with some wear and sweat it will mold to the head. I am a magician and I will be using this hat extremely often and am pleased with the purchase.

Very high quality top hat that was delivered in a box commensurate to it's size. I had ordered two other hats from a different company and they were both crushed because of the small boxes they were packed in. This top hat and quick delivery was absolutely with the money. Looking forward to other Victorian purchases!!

All goods worth the price asked.
I tend to dress archaically daily. Depending on what I'm wearing people call me: the mad hatter, Col. Sanders, Dr. Who, the Monopoly Man, the Joker, the Penguin-- the list goes on. I own several Derbies, top hats and Fedoras. I shop for clothing at thrift stores, flea markets and online. Shopping online is a gamble. I've never been cheated at Historical Emporium, where, like Sam Colt said, "All goods worth the price asked." Thank you for being fair.

Exceptional Quality
I have always wanted a Top Hat. I purchased the Wahmaker Highland Frock Coat and have worn it to Court (I'm a lawyer). When it came time for the annual reading of the Declaration of Independence at the Court House, I knew I had to wear my frock coat, but wanted a quality Top Hat that didn't look cheap. I ordered the Victorian Top Hat, the quality is amazing. The hat looks very nice and I intend to wear it occasionally come Winter. If you are needing a hat for a Victorian impression, I highly recommend this hat.

Victorian Top Hat
I'd been wanting a top hat for many years. I kept looking for one at hat shops - most don't carry top hats - and when I would find one, they never had them in my size, the shape seemed off or the quality was really not up to par. I am thrilled with the hat I received from Historical Emporium. The quality is great, it's a perfectly shaped top hat and the fit is perfect. This is the second time I've ordered from Historical Emporium and will definitely not be the last!

This is one of those items that brings out the compulsive in me and makes me want to order two! Great fit (I wear a lrg), great looking and comfortable. I usually doubt straw hats at this price but this hat is well constructed and I am choosing it often to wear outside during the summer days. I will order another one as I fear I might wear this one out. Just love this hat.

I really like this hat!
The straw is tightly and finely hand woven Panama Hat from Ecuador. The price is very reasonable. I have a Panama Fedora for which I paid over $200 six years ago and this is comparable in quality. I'll be using it for my musical stage performances in Columbia, CA this next month and for years to come. For the hot weather you can't beat a Panama. With moderate care, they last forever. I wanted a topper that was a little lower in height and this fits the bill perfectly. I really like this hat!

I love this hat! It was the perfect birthday present for my brother. Every detail is there, and it came less than 24 hours after I purchased it. It is tall enough to suit my needs and every detail is high quality. Good for an Abraham Lincoln costume but also fine as a regular top hat.

The Tops of the Top Hats
This hat is excellent in appearance, and very well constructed. It is ideal for a tall man as its height is proportionate for a tall person. My head size is a bit larger than the Large size but not large enough for Extra Large so I used a hat jack to stretch it a bit. It fits perfectly! I wore it for the first time at my installation as Worshipful Master of my Masonic Lodge and it was a hit! I shall wear it at all meetings of my lodge, as the Master is supposed to do.

I was on the fence between this top hat and the Victorian top hat, but chose this one due to the price. I was pleasantly surprised by the craftsmanship of the hat and how it looks. I will be wearing it this week for a bicentennial celebration. Only complaint is that it is a little loose, but knowing how the sizing works I'd prefer it to be a little loose than a little snug :)

When I got the e-mail from Historical Emporium with the adv for the Lincoln Tall Crown Top Hat, I knew I had to have one. I actually bought one for myself and one for my son who is a great fan of Abe Lincoln, and teaches history in middle school here. The hats arrived promptly. Both fit perfectly. They are tall, stiff, very black, and quite eye-catching. This is an incredible hat which will go perfectly with my HE cut-away coat.

John Bull hat
Very nice hat, however it seems made for a very round head shape. Ny head is more of a long oval so hat was tight fore and aft but loose side to side. I did get it to fit better with a little work. Just be aware, the proper size may not fit perfectly right out of the box. Well worth the time to make it fit.

Thank you for providing great quality options for period clothing and accessories. The John Bull top hat is a well made and terrific looking piece that beautifully compliments your Klondike Vest. The quality of your clothing and accessories is superior to any other source I have found for period clothing, costumes, accessories and props. Unlike most other providers, your in stock inventory is large enough that even when I have a last minute need for a piece or even an entire outfit you provide multiple options. And your complete outfits web page not only makes it easy to find pieces that will coordinate wonderfully well, but also provides great inspiration. Well done!

Looks great, weird fit
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.

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.

boyfriend loves 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!

Squire Top Hat Red
The color is vibrant as in the picture. It is a firmly blocked hat.

My red Squire Top Hat received many compliments during the past two weeks, especially since we celebrated Christmas. The entire ordering and shipping process was tremendous. My topper arrived three days after I placed my order. It was very nicely packaged to prevent any damage in transit. I keep my chapeau in the box when I am not wearing it. I was very happy with my purchase; and I will definitely order from the Historical Emporium again. I wish I could provide you with a photo.

Great hat!
Admittedly, I look good in hats (not sure why) and this is a lovely addition to my wardrobe: historical, history-bounding, or everyday... Will be very fun to trim as well.

Darker than pictured; bigger than sized
I like to wear hats, and I'm collecting them. I like the hat, but the color is a bit darker than I imagined, and the size is a bit large, even with the internal sizing cord. Which is odd, because i have large and xl for other hats. Except this one.

Great hat but too large
I got this hat to chaperone a junior high school dance. Great service and timely delivery. Great hat, except much larger than the L size, which reduces my rating by one star. There is an elastic cord to help size the hat, but it isn't very useful because it is higher up on the head, not near the crown. Will be fine for one event.

Comfortable hat - easy to adjust
The hat is exactly what I was looking for. Unique, seems well made, reminds me of Tom Petty. A small paper telling how to adjust the size with the string inside would have been appreciated.

Nice with a caveat
The hat is just as described. Maybe runs a wee bit small (however it could be my measuring - first time that buyer.) Ultimately it's a great hat. My caveat is twofold. First it doesn't list on the tag in the hat what it's made of, and two, it's made in China. I might have overlooked these two details when I purchased, but those are my thoughts. It really is a nice hat though.

Love it!
This Cahill Hat is top-notch, high quality, and expertly crafted. Hats like these are usually a few hundred bucks, so this is a great deal. Packed well, arrived as promised, very pleased. Top-quality outfit, glad to do business with them.
