## Overview

The Belfry John Bull Theater Quality Wool Top Hat is a meticulously crafted 100% wool felt hat featuring a 6.5" flanged crown and a 2.5" grosgrain-bound rolled brim. Designed as a historically accurate replica of the iconic top hat first popularized in the 1800s, it blends timeless elegance with modern durability. Ideal for formal occasions, business attire, or creative styling, this hat offers a bold statement of sophistication and heritage.

## Description

This deluxe, heavy gauge wool top hat is about as close to time traveling as it gets. The top hat, invented in 1797 by a man named John Hetherington, created great controversy and chaos in the streets of London the first time it was worn in public by the man himself. The top hats were not popular until the early 1800's and then they became a status symbol for men of business and high society. This elegant top hat has a slight flair in the top of its 6 1/2" crown and a 2 1/2" grosgrain hatband at the base. The 2 1/2" gently curled brim is bound with 5/8" grosgrain trim. Our quality 100% wool topper is a wonderful touch to your formal attire. The Belfry Basics Collection is akin to the woman's little black dress. This grouping of hats quantifies hundreds of years of traditional headwear. From the vintage English Derby to the staple black men's fedora, these hats represent everything headwear has ever stood for.

Review: I purchased this for a mascot outfit form my son's robotics team and I must say it is a quality headpiece! I did take it to the western wear store nearby to get my cowboy had dressed for the winter season and took this to get it stretched a bit but it now fits as well as any of my other hats. $80 for a bit of "costume" is a little steep but the kids love the look and I have to say I would like to bring this look back! For those of the steampunk crowd, this hat can be accessorized as needed. It is a sturdy platform and I have decorated it for the holidays and plan on other themed accessories as the robotics season progresses.
Review: This hat is the REAL thing! It's not a toy or a Halloween costume hat. It's a real historical replica. The fit is perfect and the hat is solid and strong. Love it!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use this hat for drinking straight whisky and smoking big cigars?**
A: Yes but only for a short time it will leak after time, and for the smoking the hat is very hard to lite unlike the cigars but do be careful if it’s soaked in whisky

**Q: Will medium ever be in stock?? Beautiful hat tho, just wish it had all sizings**
A: should be in stock in the about 3-4 weeks.

**Q: The hat is shipping in a box**
A: Yes. The hat arrived wrapped in clear plastic, inside a sturdy cardboard box.

**Q: The head I'm ordering for is 24" circumference. What size should I order**
A: 24 " is in between an XL and XXL.  XL fits 23.5-23 7/8 inches and XXL fits around 24 1/4.  We typically recommend choosing the larger size.  In our experience it's better too be a little big than too small.  This doesn't guarantee that it will be the best fit.
