Mid Crown Wool Felt Top Hat

I saw a video where someone was wearing this style of hat and set a screen capture to VHS to inquire if they had something similar. In less than a day I had a very helpful reply with a link to this product's page. :-)

I take a 7 & 3/8 and the large size fits perfectly. This hat is a unique style and goes very well with my walking stick. It really generates some great conversations and I'm always asked where I got it.

VHS rules! :-)

I have a big head... 23 inches in circumference... finding a top hat that didn't make me look like the Mad Hatter was difficult. The mid crown top hat was perfect for me and looks fantastic!

It is a bit snug as I purchased the large size and it accommodates head size up to 23 inches. In hindsight, I probably should have went with the XL. Hopefully, the hat will stretch a bit and sit more comfortably on my head.

Very nice top hat. wish it was made bigger than XL, little tight on my big head. Great looking using it in my magic act so the wearing is minimal. I recomend this hat

Being a distinguished gentleman, it is important that I am well presented in public. The hat fits good and is well formed. It is also well stiffened and should weather well in its day to day use.

I feel pretty sharp in this! I plan to wear it with my tuxedo, I feel it would be more fitting than my usual black fedora.

Exactly what I needed, wanted and exactly as described! Fast shipping and received in time for our event. Thanks!!!

XL Hat is to small on my 19 year old son.... Not happy with the size...

This is my best hat for the Holidays I would recommend this one.

I was looking for a new top hat to wear for formal events, and found the Jaxon Mid Crown Top Hat to be an excellent accessory. Top quality hat with a perfect fit!

Exceeded my expectations

Size and hat are perfect! The crown height is so versatile, the hat is SO well-made, and the fit is spot on. I ordered the large and usually wear a 7 1/4 size hat. I find Jaxon Hats to be beautifully crafted and tailored, having all of the extras you'd want in a hat. Beautiful lining, inside sweat band, tall and properly made crown, and a hat to keep and treasure for ages to come. Thank you so much for another gorgeous hat!

A nice looking hat which will fit good when I get it shaped to my head. It's my 'signature' when practicing the piano. I'm 89 years old.

this hat is so cool i ordered the deadman hat also.i know were my christmas gifts will be coming from thanks cristine and village hats

Service is amazing. Fast and the hat fit perfect!

I have two of the mid crown jaxom hats. They are well made and with look sharp. I use a hat stretcher as I always have to so I believe the size is right on. Black for formal and brown for day to day.

I think it is great looking and feels good.

The hat looks great, I am being installed as a new Master in my Lodge in Jan 2016 and looking forward to wear it to all my meetings.

Received my hat within a few days of ordering in perfect condition and it fit perfect, I only wished it came with a hat box to keep it in when I am not wearing it. Over all, best hat and service you could ask for. "Thank You".

Best gift ever thanks!

The quality of this hat is beyond my expectations for its price. Additionally I expected 7 to 10 day delivery, but it arrived in just 2 days. Not bad for an order placed on Cyber Monday. The fit is perfect and it very much impressed my Masonic Brothers.

Very nice hat, nice price.

I will be serving McKinley Lodge 431 as a Worshipful Master in 2016 and this hat is perfect for it.

It has a high quality feeling to it and goes nicely with the lodge Tux at the stated meetings.

Recommended for brother Masons.

great hat for a decent price

The Topper. Can't believe how good I look in this hat. I own many hats/styles and I bought this on a whim...Top Hats rule. I'd never heard of Jaxon Hats (mainly being a Stetson owner) but the quality is superb. Great fit and really great style. Village Hats is wonderful. Thank you.

I ordered my mid-crown top hat from this company because I saw how good it looked on a friend. He was very happy with his and it still looks great after 6 years. I received my own and had a chance to examine it closely. I must say I am very happy with the quality and finish of this product! You will get my business in the future.

Great product. Fits wonderfully. Great customer service.

The service was great. The Hat is everything I expected.
Great folks to work with.
The hat was a "Hit at the reunion and people wanted to know "where did you get that hat?"

The hats we ordered were really great quality and arrived very quickly. We were very happy with this purchase.

I didn't know what to expect when my 13 year old said that he wanted a top hat. He paid for it with his own money and has loved having it in our house. He even wore it to school on the last day. Very classy and a quality product.

Great product, timely service and very nice people. Top Hat is just as described and what I needed. I would recommend to anyone to look here first for you hat needs. Thanks for your attention to all matters.

What a fine hat. Very well made, as seem to be the entire line of Jaxon hats. The look is perfect for the modern wearer. I wasn't desiring to look like Honest Abe. The crown height is perfect, along with fit and finish.

I am pleasantly surprised by this hat. Anyone who has looked for a top hat online knows that there are many available, and they are in general poorly constructed and poorly shaped items. In contrast this Jaxon is very well made. It’s constructed of thick, quality material. Both the crown and the brim are stiffly blocked — as a top hat should be. The brim has the correct, tight curl; the crown has the ideal slightly concave sides (unlike those really bad, cheap top hats that narrow at the top, like something in an illustration of the Pilgrim Thanksgiving); the ribbon hatband and matching bound edge are tight and well stitched. Note that this is not the shiny, formal top hat worn with white tie and tails and also symbolic of capitalism, e.g., Rich Uncle Pennybags in the Monopoly game. The glossy silk plush used for those unfortunately went out of production decades ago. The collapsible, thin silk opera hats offered today are not a good substitute. But as a dressy topper for certain occasions, this item is — excellent. Highest grade. Keep it well brushed and wear it to an event with confidence.

I had always wanted a top hat for those several times in ones life where you need one. My wife and I went to a Masquerade party and it was perfect. Good quality and fit just fine. Not those cheap ones you would get from a party store that falls apart. This is a legit top hat for a good price.

Wore this hat in the world premier of the community theater version of Yes, Virginia, the Musical. The hat that shipped with the pre-designed costume of the 'Jolly Gentleman' was pitiful and I decided that I couldn't appear onstage wearing that junk. This hat earned me huge hugs from the director and the costume designer and made the costume work.

Excellent quality and super service

8 hats so far and happy as a feather in a sweet hat!

My husband purchased this as a gift and the quality really surprised me for the excellent price! It came in its own box, well packaged and is extremely durable!

I love the hat. The fit is good and I am going to look spectacular on my wedding day. :)

I needed a top hat to play a villain in our melodrama play. This hat is perfect. It looks great. It looks the part. It is comfortable, sturdy and very well made. I had to tell some of the male cast members where I got it. They are interested as well in looking at the great selection. Wonderful hat!

This is a superb hat! It's my Christmas season go-to. With a sprig of holly tucked in the band, it never fails to bring a smile or admiring comment. When I'm wearing it, people are friendlier, clerks are nicer - even a cop tore up a jaywalking ticket. It is the perfect hat for graciously doffing at ladies, caroling, or getting into the Christmas spirit. You will feel better and happier for wearing it. Well constructed of quality materials, it should give long and faithful service. Just imagine the fun you can have! Plenty of other applications as well - Mississippi river boat gambler, Snidely Whiplash-type villain, Derby Day at Ascot, fox hunter, or any of genial characters in the Pickwick Papers. Buy one and have some fun!

Hey, just wanted to thank you for having such a wide selection of hats. Turned out to be the perfect gift for my sister on her birthday. Ha!

I have the same remarks as the other reviewers. It is an awesome hat! The price is great! Everyone loves it, thinks I look great in it. I have nothing bad to say about the hat or the service. Everything is topnotch!

I gave it my best friend for her birthday, she loves it! I was very pleased with the hat itself, and the service the website provided. Very nice! I surely will be a customer again in the near future!

Got these for my wedding and they look great! I thought they fit a little bit awkward on my head because they only touched the very front and the very back of my head and the sides just floated. Other than that they're great.

I ordered the Jaxon mid-crown as the most versatile top hat style that I can adapt to several costume uses. I'll be dressing it up as a Mad Hatter topper for Halloween with a removable stretch lace cover and appropriate adornments. It will also serve well for an 18th century ladies' riding habit, and for several Victorian outfits I like, including a ""Dandy in the Underworld"" vampire. As the height and shape are not too extreme, I'll probably even wear it around town on occasion. Very well made and reasonably priced. Couldn't be better!

I was surprised at the quality! Great hat!

I loved the hat! Unfortunately, I had ordered the wrong size so I had to return it to exchange for something else.

Good quality and so very stylish! Bought it for my husband. Our teenagers cringed when he first wore it to work, but now they want to borrow it. You just HAVE to smile when you see someone in a top hat----or are wearing one yourself!Village Hat Shop gives great customer service. We'll be back.

I ordered this hat for my 9 year old for his hip hop dance solo. It is exactly what his teacher had in mind and they both love it.

I love my new hat, period. It's probably the best hat for its price point that you could find on the Web. It's a top hat, but not over-the-top (pun totally intended) The hat is true to size but if you are in doubt, I recommend going one size up--I had to exchange, so that tip might save you time and money. Give the band time to break in, it's a little stiff at first.

of my new gorgeous top hat!!! This hat was exactly what I was looking for and looks very snazzy. :)

The top hat is just right for me, the fit was as if you measured me your self.

This hat is wonderful. It fits perfectly and arrived in a timely manner, even though I had to exchange the first one as it was too small. I will use this website many more times to purchase hats.

My 13-year-old son really wanted a top hat just for fun. I purchased this one for him for Christmas, and he loves it. It is well made, and he wears it all the time. I'm sure it will last for several years. And the service was great.

We received our hat in time to give to our 19 yr old son for Christmas. It was a beautiful hat, packed in plastic to keep it clean, and well made, however we had misjudged the size. Returning the hat was no problem, and I didn't mind the extra shipping to return it since the error was ours, especially since Village Hat Shop paid the postage on the new hat, which fit perfectly. Turn around time was about 2 weeks, which was less than they estimated. My only disappointment was that the new hat was not protected by plastic, and looked like it had been well handled before it was shipped to us, (tiny stain on the hat band, lint) which I might not have noticed if the first one hadn't been so pristine. My son loves the hat, however, and is quite pleased....he wears it at every opportunity! I would definitely purchase from Village Hat Shop and Jaxon Hats again.

Just measured my head, and voila it fits it perfectly. Great price and quality. Sturdy in rain too.

The tophat was purchased for my daughter and she absolutely adores it. She has decorated it with lace and silk ribbon and has worn it to school to show off to her friends.

great, sturdy hat! I am sure I will get a lot of use out of it. I received lots of compliments, and I felt very jaunty! It was just how I imagined it would be.

This hat is GORGEOUS. I love Jaxon Hats. This is just perfect. It is true to size and shipping was a breeze. Nita worked with me to make it a perfect and easy purchase. I have total faith in their secure check out and they are very helpful. The hat was better than expected for the price-fantastic price by the way. It is a present for Christmas and I can hardly wait to give it.

I ordered this hat for my Halloween costume. I received numerous compliments on how beautiful it was. The sizing chart ensured a perfect fit. I could not have been happier with the purchase as I had shopped many retail venues and found nothing that compared to the quality and they were all more expensive.

I purchased this hat for my Halloween 'Grave Digger' costume. I also wore it for the Monday Night in the Superdome in New Orleans for the 'Saints v Falcons' game and received Many Compliments especially with the gold Fleur-de-Lis pinned to the front of this wonderful hat. Thanks so much for selling a great hat.

Absolutely astounding hat!I have always wanted a top hat, and upon finding the Jaxon Hat, I realised at that moment that this was the hat for me.Its appearance fit all my standards, sleek and not too gaudy, it's certainly perfect for almost any occasion.A favourite of my collection.

I looked all over and this was the one i needed to complete my Halloween Wedding costume. The fit and quality are wonderful and i recommend this to anyone!!

I am a fan of hats that no one wears (Bowler, Top, porkpie, etc.) and this is a wonderful addition to my collection. the only thing I am wondering is if water will damage it in any way.

Bought this for my son and he loves it. We measured using the guide on the website and the fit is perfect. Very well made.

Used this as my wedding hat. Great modern look. Good quality for price, timely shipping by this company.

I always get complimented every time I wear the hat. Very sturdy great fit and excellent price. I will definitely purchase another more expensive Jaxon top hat now that I know how wonderful they are

THE BOMB. WEAR IT TO MY RETIREMENT PARTY AND IT WAS THE HIT.

I bought this hat for my grandson, He loves it. It's the first thing he puts on in the morning and the last thing he takes off each night. For the price of this hat, I expected less and was amazed at the quality. Evan the pakaging and the shipping was amazing. When I need another hat I will order it from here.

Magnificent hat. Great price. I've got nothing but compliments since I bought it.

I'm a professional magician (old school) and I've owned a few top hats over the years. The Jaxon Mid Crown Tophat is the best value for the money. It's as good as any I've owned and some of those cost five times as much. The price is right, the quality is excellent and The Village Hat Shop delivered it in a timely fashion. Justlikethat!

This hat is just good quality. I get compliments on it all the time. I originally needed a top hat as part of a costume, but since I do like and collect hats, I didnt want to simply purchase a cheap plastic or fake-looking tophat. So after looking online, I found this hat. It was not only much less expensive than competitor's hats, but it was just the quality I was looking for. Very happy with the hat.

I am very impressed with the quality and price of the Jaxon Top Hat. Not only was the customer service excellent, but the shipping was fast and easy. Thank you so much. I will definately be shopping this web-site again.

Great hat; great style. Wore this at a wedding with white tie and tails. It looked great, perhaps a smige stiff, but very stylish. Sizing is true and overall quality is exceptional.

I received my hat a few weeks ago and have been wearing it regularly since. I wasn't expecting much from an inexpensive top hat, but this has more than exceeded my expectations. I normally have trouble finding hats spacious enough for my skull, but this time extra large really is extra large.

I got my hat last week and am not very pleased with it. I got an extra large. The hat is over an inch to wide (side to side) and an inch too short (front to back). The satin lining is very cheaply glued I turned the hat over and half of it came unglued. The sweat band is near useless and irritating. I am glad I didn't waste money on the more expensive Jaxon I wanted. I will not buy another Jaxon hat.

I just received my hat recently and fell in love with it immediately. Nice craftsmanship and detail. I know I'll be purchasing more from Village Hat Shop!

This Hat is GREAT! it fits really well, and the crown is backed by a stiff plastic, so I won't have to worry about it loosing shape! it's a high quality hat for a great price!
