What a wonderful surprise today! Our good friend in the Netherlands, Stefan Steur sent me a "get well" hat. My first Top Hat! This topper is made of silk and linen with a luster finish. Not sure of who made it, I assume it is Continental in origin. The liner is not much help, with no other markings. Fits like a glove. Made my day for sure!

Had to dust off my #810 flange and do a third reflanging on my Bark Brown Stagecoach conversion. I wasn't quite satisfied with the looks of the other two different flanges for the brim style I was trying to accomplish on this hat. Third time's a charm, I always heard. After this one I'm going to have to take a break from doing conversions for the next several weeks until I get my back straightened around with more PT that I have scheduled.

This hat sports a very tall and vertical crown in a longhair finish...

The back shows how straight sided this hat is.
