A staple of 19th-century headwear, the derby—also known as the bowler—was worn across social classes for its practical design and refined silhouette. This tall derby offers a classic profile suited to period, historical, and formal attire.

Constructed from 100% wool felt, the hat features a close-fitting shape with a rounded crown and a short, curled brim finished with a bound edge. Interior details include a grosgrain ribbon accent and a fully lined interior with a leather sweatband for comfort and durability.

The crown measures approximately 4.75 to 5 inches in height, and the brim measures approximately 2 inches in width.

I ordered the hat for a waiter in an historic brewery restaurant of the 1850's period. I don't know if the management is going to let him wear it, yet. If so, it will also be historically correct for our city because the Wright Brothers wore them.

Attire can define the character as well as the occasion complimenting the entire atmosphere of the subject. A chocolate brown and tall derby adds so very much to my brown tweed frock coat, vest, and trousers. I find the look fascinating as well as reminiscent of a day bygone to history. Honoring those days through various events and socializations is honoring our heritage and ancestors. I enjoy participating in these performances and hopefully have some more time left to participate in them. A chocolate and tall derby should be just the ticket!

I wear stylish hats while performing with our band 2nd Chance Ukulele Band. I wore it last night for our performance at Orange Bike Brewery in Portland Maine. It was comfortable, and if i do say so i looked great. I had random strangers approach me complimenting me on my hat. So it was a hit. I'm very happy with the purchase.

Proper Hat

This is the second derby hat I've purchased from Historical Emporium. I'm very pleased with the quality and the fit. Would recommend to a friend. I'm planning to purchase other items in the near future.

Sharp-Looking Bowler in a great color!

This hat will do eaqually well in an 1880's Western Impression or with a light earth-tone suit. It is made by Scala, which is a recognized name-brand Hatter. I like mine a lot!

I LOVE it!

I just wanted a different old west look. I'm getting a ton of compliments. It feels good on my head. I look awesome. I have lost a lot of weight due to surgery so I put a couple strips of felt in the sweat band to make it a little tighter on my head.

Great fit!

It's one of the best fitting hats I have! Not one I'd wear out in the heat of the sun all day, since it gives no protection from that. A fine old west dress hat, nonetheless........

It’s a well designed hat.

Beautiful, high quality hat!

This hat is of exceptional quality. My husband says it is the most perfectly fitting and comfortable hat he owns. He is also pleased that the feather is removable; it is nice to change the way it is accessorized depending on his attire.
