Top Hat

Top Hat

Epic Armoury’s leather costume Top Hat is handmade and embellished with a cotton canvas and leather band, held in place with glue, giving this interpretation of the 19th century fashion a rugged twist. The stitching around the edges and the stiff crown strengthen this hat’s structural stability, so with regular leather care you can expect Epic Armoury’s Top Hat to have a long lifetime. Use this Top Hat to create a steampunk statement or add some interest to your kit.
