A beautiful classic black silk top hat from circa Victorian/Edwardian era.
This top hat is made by G.A. Dunn & Co, London. It is silk lined and has a leather sweat band. It also features a felt hat band. The sweat band has been initialled “H F” in a silver tone.
Stamp inside reads: ” G.A. Dunn & Co, Piccadilly Circus, London, All black silk.”
Size: 56/57 cm (M), it is labelled size 7. Top hats are traditionally worn a couple of cm above the ears and sitting straight on the head.
Crown height 14 cm, brim width 5 cm.
In great to excellent vintage condition for its age, there is a beautiful sheen to the silk. There is some small signs of wear to the underside of the brim as shown in the pictures, and theres is slight fraying to the petersham edging, however this is not noticeable when worn, and is often unavoidable in hats of this age.
Please note that the hat stand is not included. Please visit my Etsy shop for more great quality vintage top hats in other sizes.
To measure your head use a dress makers tape measure and measure all around from the middle of the forehead to the back of the head just above the ears, measure in cm.
*As with any vintage item please allow for any normal wear and tear as they have been pre-worn and loved. We will do our best to describe any wear we notice ourselves.
