Beautiful, high quality hat!
This hat is of exceptional quality. My husband says it is the most perfectly fitting and comfortable hat he owns. He is also pleased that the feather is removable; it is nice to change the way it is accessorized depending on his attire.

Tall Derby Brown
Just what I needed for a character for a film. A brown derby is not the easiest to find, but Historical Emporium is my go to store for some hard to find items for costuming. And, had the size I needed which is not always true of this company for commion popular sizes. That is one thing I would like to see corrected by this company. Please restock or have more on hand. Thinking a brown derby may not be a hat that is ordered compared to a the color black. So, having is was a good thing and then in size I needed for character was a real plus.
Very happy with the hat, color, size and quality.

Dance Hat a Smash Hit
I bought the derby for my son's first solo dance routine. He's 10, the medium fit perfectly.
He's doing well, High Gold in his Charlie Chaplin inspired solo dance routine. Also added the
Bamboo Van Dyke Cane. Thank you very much, one happy dancer and one very impressed

High-Quality Hat
Nice. Definitely a real hat, not a cheap costume prop. The only issue was that it's just a touch small for my husband's size 7 3/4 head. Probably best for people no bigger than a size 7 1/2.

I love my brown tall derby and have added it to my black derby? The look, quality, and the fit was outstanding enough that I added your straw derby for summer.
I have had a great experience purchasing from the Historical Emporium.
Thank you. I will be ordering more from your company.
I'll be needing it when all the would be presidents visit our first in the primary, "Live Free or Die" state of New Hampshire.

Buffalo Hunter Bowler
Remember the buffalo hunter Big Swede in Lonesome Dove? That's the look I wanted with this swashbuckling tall bowler and my duster. Hat was quality material and looks great after I "seasoned" it by hanging in dusty barn for 2 weeks. Tossed out the standard feather and added my own longer feathers for one of a kind accent. The ladies in the Walmart pharmacy can't get enough of me now!! 5 Woohoo's for that kind of attention. ;))

This is a beautiful hat. It's a tall derby. If you're not in the mood for a Top Hat and not quite in the mood for a derby, this is the best of both worlds. And you can't see it from the picture but there's a feather on the side. A great hat that garnered compliments. Very happy.

More than happy!
I have a felt "bowler" that I purchased years ago elsewhere. My wife likes a taller crown, and I was in the market for a straw derby, since my receeding hairline is rapidly approaching the bald spot in the back. After looking at many sites that carry hats, I finally googled "straw bowler/derby" and your site came right up. The hat I bought came up as soon as your site opened. I was surprised that you carry it in my size which is "medicine ball" and it fits perfectly. In fact, I am not only more than happy, I am just tickled with my little self for making this purchase.

there are many different types of straw used in hats. I believe that the strongest, and also very attractive is the straw used in Guatamala! I have had one for over 25 years and the straw derby is even better made. Some day I may buy the straw top hat, also the tough Guatamalin palm straw!

Deluxe Felt Derby - Black
This is much better quality felt than the former "deluxe" model derby (although, to it's credit, after several years of daily use, I have consigned the earlier model to "motorcycle duty" due to wear, yet it is still holding up well even to 65mph!) The new Scala model has become my daily "town" wear hat. I have 4 "Deluxe" derbies, 2 Scala, 2 Capas, in 3 different colors, I wear them all, none feel, or look "costume-ey" As these wear, I will come back for more.

This was my first purchase from Historical Emporium. I have to admit that I was a little skeptical and expected the hat to be more like a mediocre costume quality item based on the price. However, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and workmanship on the hat. It has a full liner and sweatband inside and the construction and materials are very solid; the fit was perfect too. I am a historical music re-enactor and this item is perfect for one of my impressions. I'll be a return customer for sure.

Love it!
Many years ago I bought a fancy, lined, "crushable" bowler at a hat shop in Carmel, CA and it's been my go-to for every nearly every gig ever since. Recently it went missing and after searching high and low for over a month, and only finding hard Bowlers or obviously cheap imitations, I finally found just what I needed here. I wish the sweat band were black rather than tan, and I miss my fancy lining, but in all other ways this hat is perfect and I plan to buy another one to have on hand just in case. Thanks for such a fine product!

Does not fit as the size suggests. Because the material is crushable, it is also stretchable, and needs some material aded to the sweat band to fit better.
