That looks a beauty, Stefan.
Be interesting to know who actually made it.
I'm looking forward to seeing whose well proportioned head that one is going to sit atop of.
Wonderful pre-Borsalino Vanzina, Alan
Great shape. Love the ribbon and bow treatment. Still has its basting stitches, too. An Italian hat that just has it all!
Is the taller Top Hat also a Lincoln Bennett?
Out of my 30 or so Toppers, I can only find one with a quality designation.
Fedoras and other hats from various makers often have a quality mark, but not so often Top Hats.
It would be interesting to see if others than LB did it.
Thanks for posting these wonderful Top Hats, Craig.
The Lincoln Bennett would be from between 1929 and 1937. It was in the former year that they opened a new shop in Burlington Gardens.
Can you post photos of the interior of the taller Topper?
