Austentation Regency/Victorian Style Men's Straw Top Hat with Black Ribbon Band

Description

This is something new for me-- We are trying men's straw top hats! They are quite similar in style to ones worn at our local 1840's living history museum and I was told that the base was designed to look like hats worn in the British Navy, but I have been unable to find pictures to prove it (does anyone have one?) What I have found is an 1801 print from Ackermann's Repository showing the tall style of straw hat for men (albeit exaggerated) and of course, who could forget Jeremy Northam in Emma, with his dapper straw hat. Mine is hand trimmed with black grosgrain ribbon and a flat bow on one side.
These hats come in 3 sizes. I  am listing the Large here, but if you prefer a different size, please get in touch. The crown is 5.25" tall and the interior circumference is 24". This includes a lining "band" which could be removed or padded to adjust the fit.
This hat comes trimmed, as shown, in black ribbon with a f lat bow. Please feel free to contact me about custom colors and trimmings. I'm always happy to try something new. Search online for Austentation: Regency Accessories to see my full line of products shipped from my smoke free home.
I have several hats and bonnets available, so check out my other listings!
