If you want to add a touch of class or need to make your costume look more authentic you need to have a look at this section of the site that contains Top Hats, Trilby’s and Bowler Hats. These hats date back centuries and have become an iconic representation of decades, centuries and even people. The Top Hat dates back to 18th century France where it became extremely popular amongst French dandies. It is now typically worn to special occasions, white tie events and of course fancy dress parties. The Bowler hat was created as an alternative for hunters who found their top hats often knocked off by pesky passing branches. It was also the most common hat worn in Wild West days of the United States despite the modern day association with the cowboy hat. The last hat in this section is the Trilby hat which derives its name from French Author George du Maurier’s 1894 novel Trilby where a hat worn by the lead protagonist became forever associated with the play. The Trilby hat was the most popular hat of the 1920’s and you rarely would see Al Capone without one. Grab a great hat to complete your with our fantastic selection of Top hats, Trilby’s and Bowler hats.
