Finest Original Antique Silk Top Hats & Fine Original Vintage Silk Top Hats For Sale, London & The Cotswolds.
For those of you wishing to purchase the very finest antique silk top hat, it should be mandatory you make us your first port of call. We will help you choose a silk top hat that's the perfect height, shape and fit, that balances the contours of your face and sits correctly on your head, showing both your face and silk top hat as one mirror image. For many years discerning gentlemen have chosen us for their silk top hats and leather hat boxes, for Royal Ascot, The Derby, or any other fitting occasion. They simply want an original, as they know originality holds value. They relish the fact that we hold the largest collection of originals in the world and supply only the very best to the very best. We offer a great variety of different makes, shapes and sizes, all of which are contoured to your head for ultimate comfort and fit.
When choosing your silk top hat, do your own research. Firstly, make sure it's in fine original condition, as it may have been refurbished or reconditioned. Secondly, it might look ridiculous in the respect that the crown could be much wider or narrower than the width of your head, or too tall or too short compared to that of your height, or even too large, resting on your ears like a baby's bonnet. Thirdly, be aware of expensive imitations and don't believe your silk top hat belonged to a funeral director because it carries a felt mourning band. The mourning band replaced the band and bow in 1861 on the death of Prince Albert and still adorns antique silk top hats to this day.
We hope the above has persuaded you to compare your findings in that purchasing from us is far the superior option to purchasing a refurbished or reconditioned antique silk top hat elsewhere.
We look forward to making your acquaintance...
