I posed this question in the current top hat thread but I fear it is buried so I'll start one: Does anyone have information about the heights of top hats during different time periods? Very early photos, 1840s-50's, show very tall toppers, perhaps as tall as 8" or so. Twentieth Century top hats seem to be less than 6". Anyone have more specific info? I see some information on
www.historyinthemaking.org but it's very general. Any top-hatted doyennes in the Lounge?
