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.

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 hat far exceeds my expectation. it is well built and beautiful. for the price you can not go wrong.

Great quality and awesome price! Gifted this hat to my Masonic husband for Father's Day and he loves it!

This top hat is absolutely beautiful and the quality is amazing. The sizing is perfect. I would recommend this hat to anyone. The shipping time was great.

I usually wouldn't buy something like this but I figured, "what the Hell, might last me awhile". Indeed, I'm glad I bought this product cause of how nice the quality is and I'm looking forward to further purchases.

Made a 67 year old woman dream Come true. Wanted one of these For years. Excellent quality!

This hat fit as advertised, and was very comfortable to wear. In fact, wore it for an evening of Victorian era dancing and received many compliments.

I am looking for any hats that can look good while conducting Masonic Lodge. This had does not meet the standards. I thought it would, but it is too over the top. This can only be seen in person as opposed to internet. The shorter Top hats I got in exchange are working so much better.

Well made very pleased with the purchase. shipped quickly.

Very comfortable! Looks impressive. Would be nicer if silk-lined. 'Will definitely invest in a rain bonnet. Fits perfectly in the large, clear hat box, from containerstore.com.

Love it! Quality merchandise!

The Top Hat is perfect. I like the quality and the way it sits on my head. Well done.

I love this hat! Beautifully made and fits perfectly.

I was impressed with how authentic the top hat looks and feels up close. An added surprise that was not in the picture was a feather and hat pin tucked into the hat band. No doubt, you'll love this hat.

I purchased this hat for my husband for a titanic period party coming up. The selection, quality of the products and speed of delivery of this company is absolutely outstanding. We will definitely purchase future products from this company.

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.

Loved the black deluxe John Bull top hat! The quality was way more then I expected! I purchased the hat for my fiance' for Christmas and he loved it! Fit him very well!

I needed an elegant hat for Halloween and you did not disappoint! Wonderful quality and looks amazing! Quick shipping as well!

This is a great hat, VERY true to size. Looks even better than the catalog pictures.

Such amazing quality for such an affordable price!

hat brim far more 'curled' than shown in picture. inside very round pinching the front and rear and leaving the sides not touching .. size measurement on my head where it showed caused me to order XL..L would have been better

I usually have a hard time finding hats to fit my 7 5/8 head, but this hat fit perfect. It looked PERFECT for the occasion as well.

I'm a big Victorian era clothing fan and I wanted a top hat to match my ivory suit. I ordered the hat and not only was the pricing great, but I received a quality top hat and I couldn't take it off for hours!!! Thanks Historical Emporium for the business. I will be back for the gray one soon!

I scoured the web and known hat suppliers but was only able to find a 'white' top hat that was a costume piece, take over a month to ship or require custom ordering. HE had what I needed in stock and after wearing it, is certainly the quality I had hoped for.

I have a black top hat just like this one. I am very pleased with how it is made and the type of service I have got. I would recommend this site and this hat to anyone who enjoys the formal look. I have a very large head and it can be difficult to find a hat that fits. This one fits great and I am very pleased.

I wear a black top hat during the cooler months but during the summer I want to wear white and seersucker suits, so wanted a white top hat. This is very well made and beautiful. I stuff the crown with baby stuffed rabbits so that I can surprise the children that come through the door. (And more than a few of the adults).

I love my hat It fits perfectly and is exactly what I was looking for.

Awesome!

This hat was a good price, and it's a very nice quality. I only wish that it came in snow white instead of Ivory, but, a little fabric spray paint took care of that problem just fine. I would definitely order again from this company. Shipping was fast, and my hate came without any damage as it was well packaged. Thank you guys!

Perfect fit, classic style. This hat is about as cool as it gets. I'm going to wear it to the Leon Russell concert.

I picked this up to complete a full cream suit and this finished the outfit perfectly. Very high quality and nice fit. The fitting guide is accurate so you can trust it.

I have only ordered a couple of items to date from Historical Emporium, a black top hat and a white top hat for two very different evenings - Night of a Thousand Stevies in New York and Steampunk Monster Hunters party in Calgary. Everytime I wear these hats I get compliments after compliments. They are absolutely beautiful and are treasures of mine. I plan on doing much more shopping with Historical Emporium...as the special events come up. :)

This top hat was exactly what I was looking for and it is of excellent quality. I am looking forward to wearing it to the theater.

Well made and beautiful.

The hat is imprssive. It fits in my had size and my suite. I post my pictur on facebook and a lot of friend "wow", very authentic. . well done.

went perfectly with my burgandy shirt. wore it to Dickens on the Strand in Galveston, Tx. recievednumerous compliments on it and the rest of my costume. fit perfect. will be wearing it to other(not necessarily costume shows)

Best hat I've purchased (though I've only purchased five).

This is a great 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.

I reenact the 1840's and needed a hat to match the rest of my "Shop Keeper" look. This worked perfectly. The quality is great and the fit was just as expected.

I ordered this hat in a medium, and it is perfect! Very tasteful in every way! Can't wait to wear it!

The John Bull top hat is a great product and fits the era wonderfully. I measured as instructed and ordered the indicated size. The hat I received was slightly large but serviceable. If you want to exchange any item with Historical Emporium you will have no problem but the added shipping costs will double the purchase price of your items!

Awesome, and that's no bull!

Perfect complement to my ensemble, makes me feel I've stepped out of an H.G. Wells novel. Fits well, not too tight, not too loose.

This is a nice stylish topper for anyone wanting a good looking hat. I intend to wear it with an overcoat in winter on sundays

First hat came deformed, (not shaped right) , emailed company second hat arrived in two days. PERFECT!! . Hat was shaped right, great fit, great price. Thanks

even though i measured my hat size correctly and have ordered a previous hat and it fit perfect, this one does not run true to its size. i was dissapointed that it was too large out of no fault of my own. the size that this hat states is not accurate and I'm stuck with a hat that does not fit due to the restrictions of the return policy. nice hat but the sizes are off. very dissapointing.

Very pleased, the Victorian style hat was to tall for my taste, this one is perfect

When you don't feel like wearing a full sized top hat, this one is a perfect alternative. Great for a fall evening in Florida!

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!

this will be more of a conversation piece than item,still glad I have it.

Surprised my husband with the John Bull top hat and he was delighted. I'm sure he will have fun with this new persona.

Great Hat! Good Quality and will hold up to many years of use. VERY happy that Historical Emporium supplies good QUALITY products for our use.

I have so far purchased a hat and coat and have been beyond delighted. Excellent quality materials and time put into making these exquisite pieces.

AWESOME hat - looks even nicer in real life than the picture gives it credit for!

Love the styling, the quality, and the price. As a returning customer, I can only say that I'll be back again.

I've been looking for one of these hats and have seen the offerings of other companies, but knowing the quality of the Emporium's products, there was no question where I would be buying. The hat is perfect in every way- fit, style and materials. Thank you.

Beautiful, well made hat. Fits well, looks sharp.

It fits both my head, and the look I was going for.

I plan to make this hat part of my everyday wardrobe when the weather cools off.

Much better than expected.

High quality,perfect for daily use.i work as a tourguide at the lizzie borden house,so I'm often in period clothing. The emporium always has what I need

Many thanks to the staff at Historical Emporium...I received my new Cahill Hat (Black)...the fit is perfect...and the service was great. Thank You Very Much...Continued Success.

Fast shipping. Great product. Perfect experience.

This hat is just what I expected! I'm happy with. It is perfect for the occasion that I purchased it for and the fit is good.

Spot on for the hat I was seeking. Perfect fit and quality well beyond the cost. I can not be more satisfied.

Okay, lets get past the basics. The hat looks fantastic. Just DAMN fine. Now, despite my big head (really big. I usually have to stretch out XLs) it was a shade too big BUT the brilliant internal elastic took care of that very nicely. As a tip, if you pull the elastic out below the brim at the back, you get a very comfortable yet secure fit. Feels great and looks better. Superb value.

Bought this product for my wife. Because she wanted her first cowboy hat, I thought it would be fitting for her to wear this one as she does gamble every once in a while. Fits her just perfectly, she loves it and she can’t get over how how it feels. Quality of this a product is superior, for the price it is definitely worth it.

Great Hat...wrong color. I ordered "camel"...got "brown"

I was looking for an everyday hat, brown or tan, with a narrower brim. This hat fits the bill. Nice quality and looks nice. The color goes well with what I normally wear. The service from Historical Emporium was exceptional. I will return to their website! Thank you.

Dear Sir, The soft gambler hat fit perfect and the pecan color is outstanding... thank you very much.

Because of our problems trying to reorder It is hard for us to be positive at all!

This hat is beautiful and extremely comfortable. I can't walk 30 paces without someone giving me a compliment about how it looks. There are no regrets for this purchase. I highly recommend this to anyone that likes Gamble-style hats. I only wish this hat came in more colors than Pecan and Black.

This is a great hat, well made and very comfortable! I have always had trouble finding something in my size that I liked but this fills the bill!!

Perfect fit and beautiful color, which looks awesome with the Sable Frock Coat.

The hat is great, if it was lined I would add another star. I am happy with it and will wear it next SASS shoot.

Recently received the Soft Gambler Hat - Pecan, great color and fit perfectly, it was shipped promptly and arrived in perfect condition. So comfortable to wear, great job again!!

I purchased this hat as a gift, and it was something I was happy to give. It's very well made, and the felt is a beautiful warm brown. There's also a small feather accent that is a lovely little touch. The recipient has worn the hat for a few weeks now, and he absolutely loves it.

I have purchased the black gamblers hat and am very pleased with it so I wanted the hat in pecan and am not as pleased. My black hat fits just the way I like while the pecan is different. It just does not have the fit that I like.

I was looking for a new hat for the upcoming cowboy action shooting season and some travel matches, and I really liked the way this hat looked online. The price was very good, so I thought I would take a chance and order. This hat is the MOST comfortable cowboy hat I have ever worn. Soft and light on the head, and pops right back into shape if it gets crushed. The fit was perfect. I will definitely buy more of your hats. Once travel shooting season starts in May, I will be stylin'!

Very pleased with this hat. Even though I had to buy An X large it fits fine.

saw that tom petty's hat from the travelling wilburys video handle with care sold at auction for big bucks. got this for a much better price! looks great. very well made. and shipped in a double hat box for storage go with large as it has an adjustable string that lets you tighten the fit

Love the hat very good fit great delivery time will shop again soon for a low derby thank you

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.

Looks great fits really well

Looks great fits really well

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.

Super fast delivery and very nice quality merchandise!

Excellent packaging and an outstanding quality hat. Historical Empire um is the best all around.

Perfect with my kit for fox hunting with the Aiken Hounds. Col Bob

This was a gift and he loved it. Fits well and looks great.

The hat is perfect for using in cowboy action shooting. Fits great, actually looks better in person than in the picture. Good solid hat.

I love this hat! Made from soft felt, it fits perfectly and is adjustable. Most top hats are hard and super uncomfortable - not this one! I've gotten so many compliments since I started wearing it.

I got a Cahill And am extremely excited, I have wanted one since the 70's iT'S a Dam fine hat ,I wood bet it's the original blocking used from 1880's well formed and didn't get crushed in transit , well done . I'm deciding , it may take time , a what do I want next list .

Love this hat and the way it fit

I was delighted to find that this hat has an inner elastic band that is adjustable and allows the hat to be custom fitted to the head. Both stylish and comfy, I expect it to stay on even in a wind with this feature.

This hat looks great and I can't wait to try it out. Fits perfectly

it fits well and I like it very much

I received the Laredo hat I ordered. Great quality and fits perfectly! Very quick shipping. Great service!

Hat fits perfectly, arrives packaged carefully. It is beautiful on and I've gotten many compliments on it. I also bought it in the camel color and it is equally beautiful. I am glad Historical Emporium has different sizes and a size chart - be sure to measure your head!

I was looking for an old school / cowboy hat style that I could throw in the back of my car or where I was going and not worry about it this is perfect! The fit is very accurate.

Not that satisfied !!!!!!'

Great pirate hat after a few personal mods this is the real deal for the ship.

The swashbuckler hat is good quality and reflects the pirate lifestyle.

Ordered this swashbuckler hat , expecting to receive from this site but What i recieved was this hat yes but it was Disney pirates of the Caribbean hat. Which was not in the description and that's what the tag on the hat said.

I was very satisfied and impressed with the quality, look and fit of this item. For the price I was surprised

I am looking for any hats that can look good while conducting Masonic Lodge. This had does not meet the standards. I thought it would, but it is too over the top. This can only be seen in person as opposed to internet.
