$134.95

Historically accurate 19" black satin-covered top hat features a spray of burgundy and black plumes in the back, peeking out of a locked and key. Navy stripe satin ribbon surrounds the hat and is pulled into an oversized bow in the back.

Hat was designed and created by our very own French-trained milliner. A local artisan who specializes in period and costume pieces.

We are proud to present these one of a kind, couture hat collections created exclusively for our site.

This first piece is just so striking, you'll find excuses to don it. A "figure 8" keeps this hat on the head. This ingenious method was developed in the early 1900's and employs the use of a covered wire into the figure 8. One circlet goes into the underside of the hat and the other sits on the apex of the skull, making for a headache-free evening. Those wishing to cover up their 8 may do so by pulling their hair through.

Note from Captain Donna: Normally so much as a hairband gives me a headache. When I found out about this way of wearing a hat, I was marveled at the ingenuity and elated at the fact that it was completely comfortable.

This hat is one of a kind and non returnable or exchangeable.
