History of the Top Hat

Also known as a Topper, a Cylinder Hat or a High Hat, the Top Hat is a tall flat-crowned hat for men associated with formal wear such as morning dress or frock coats.  Made of black or grey silk, the Top Hat came onto the scene in the late 18th century and had declined by the 1960's.
