Topper Top Hat

Christys' Fashion Top Hat.  Whilst it is

Not every occasion that calls for a top hat calls for the same top hat. The Christys' Fashion Top Hat is made in England from a fine wool felt — less stiffened than a formal fur topper, with a suppleness in the crown that makes it a more natural, more wearable proposition for occasions where presence matters but rigidity does not.

The silhouette is unmistakably a top hat — tall crown, flat brim, clean line — but it carries that form with a lightness that suits both the race meeting and the editorial shoot with equal ease. It is a hat that understands the difference between dressing up and dressing well, and quietly takes the side of the latter.

Three colourways are offered, and together they tell the full story of what this hat can be. Black is the foundation — correct for formal occasions, racing, weddings and anything that demands the classic top hat silhouette without further discussion. Grey is the morning dress option, preferred at Ascot and country weddings where a lighter tone is both expected and encouraged. Red is the departure — a top hat worn for fashion rather than convention, with the kind of considered boldness that a heritage brand of 250 years can carry without affectation.

Made in England to the Christys' standard, it is a hat with a clear sense of occasion — and the flexibility to suit more than one.

less stiffened than the Fur Top Hat, the Fashion Top Hat is still an elegant hat with a classic look.
