Try at home. Only pay for what you keep.

Oliver Brown offers the world's largest collection of antique silk top hats. Renowned for their exceptional shine, shape, and lightness, these top hats are made from a unique silk plush that is no longer produced. 

Each top hat comes with a complimentary top hat box and velvet polishing pad. Due to their rarity and quality, those in pristine condition or larger sizes can command higher prices. For silk hats larger than 7 5/8" (62cm), it is recommended to visit the store for fitting

For a specialist fitting, customers can request an appointment for Oliver Brown's top hat expert to bring the collection of Antique Silk Top Hats to them; please call 07768 395285 to request an appointment.
