Our authentic top hats are made from 100% premium wool felt and are perfect for more formal events such as weddings, special events, or a day at the races.


Classic Bowler Hats

 

Conceived by British hat makers Thomas and William Bowler, the origins of the traditional Bowler Hat date back to the mid-1800's. The bowler hat is still one of the world’s most recognized and iconic hat styles and it was regularly worn throughout the 19th century. Becoming more commonly associated with the business classes from the early 20th century onwards, the bowler hat today is worn more for adding a little extra charm and elegance at formal occasions in particular. Explore our quality-crafted top hats and bowler hats online — available now in a full range of sizes.


What’s the difference between a bowler hat and a top hat?

Top hats have tall, cylindrical crowns; whereas Bowler hats have round, shorter crowns. At different times in the past, both styles have been traditionally associated with figures of influence, stature, and social status but in more modern times, anyone can wear these iconic hat styles to suit the occasion or event.


What are bowler hats and top hats made from?

Bowler hats were traditionally made from hard felt, whilst the felt used to make top hats traditionally came from beaver pelts.
