Top Hat

[Shaul-Ike Cohen]

A funeral isn't the appropriate event for vanity, though there's a certain connexion. So I'd recommend a top-hat only if it is to be expected that you won't attract unnecessary attention, for instance because a considerable number of others will wear one, too.

Topper, may I ask if you're Russian?

A cheap tophat is an oxymoron, if you want to buy a tophat, be prepared to shell out some serious dough.

I disagree, sir!

Got mine, a vintage fur, for $35, including original box. Looks like new - prior owner must have worn it for his wedding, then put it away.

I bought it after I passed up a German one dated 1908, in the original leather hat box, for $90. Went back a few days later and of course it was GONE.

You just have to hit the antique and auction circuit.
