Nothing like 19th Century elegance. This smoker's cap has made me very happy. I like old stuff. Thank You for offering said cap. Great work Historical Emporium.

This is a nice addition to smoking jacket. Well made.

Excellent material, well crafted, I needed a vintage smoking cap for a formal party and this was perfect!

I bought this to wear when smoking my pipe in my study. I love it. It's a very well made hat, quite comfortable. Everyone who has seen it has complimented me on it. Highly recommended.

A perfect addition to my hat collection.

Husband loved this. Great!

The quality is very high. Very nice velvet and tassel and the fit is excellent. I recommend this very highly.

I love it...my wife hates it. But it keeps my bald head warm in the house.

Love everything I've ever gotten from Gentlemen's Emporium. This hat is well made, high-end materials and fits my largish head well. Planning to wear in place of mortar board for commencement regalia

I'd got the Black Velvet "plain" Vintage Quilted Smoking Cap ("plain" meaning no embroidery on the side) because I wanted a warm cap to wear "indoors" during winter. I wear sweaters and turtlenecks indoors so that I can keep the thermostat turned down, reducing my heating bill. However, I still suffered from a cold head! I had pull-overs, toques, knit stocking caps, and a bunch of other, regular, outdoors winter-wear lids. But I had nothing even remotely "Ritzy" to wear indoors. The other stuff made it look like I'd just come in from checking he mail, or something--- not like something I had intentionally worn indoors! The smoking cap's ideal! It's also a good bit like Dumbledore's "casual cap," (which I'd also considered; rejecting it because it was made too small for me!) but less "ornate." The Vintage Quilted Smoking Cap also special in that the "XL" version fits me; and I usually take a 7-7/8 or "XXL" hat or cap! I like the Harry Potter series; but being in my 60s, it behooves me to avoid dressing exactly like Dumbledore! (Yea, sure; the kids & grand-kids would love it, but it might cause talk!) So I split the difference, buying a cap that only slightly resembles a "wizard's cap." I'm happy, the kids are happy, and the rest can hop it! However--- I hope that the Historical Emporium has an ample supply of these, as they're great for "customizing" into fancier versions with glued-on trim & piping, braid & brooches, for the costumes of "Dumbledore Wannabes!" The...

The quality is wonderful. It fits perfectly and looks amazing.

My husband likes hats - all sorts of hats. He was extremely pleased with the craftsmanship and fit of this one. Nice job!

purchased as a gift for a good friend with a very large head.

circa 1888 London. Our game has become not just a pleasure, but a must, every week, to escape reality's stress thru gaming and to unwind by playacting and adventuring, which is accompanied by online visual mapping, replacement of last week's dice sets, and costuming, to help suspend your disbelief.

I love it! I looked for years for an authentic type cap. I wear it while relaxing with a sip or two of whiskey and smoking my long pipe.

I've had the red version of this hat for years. I added the purple one here recently. FYI: When compared to my old red hat. It hasn't aged at all! It still looks new! These hats are very well made! I read tarot in these hats. I dress for the job I do! Very warm for the winter season! Excellent!

I went online looking for a fez—I lost my old one years ago—but as soon as I saw this I realized it was what I had really wanted all along. In a matter of minutes I put in the order; not only did the hat arrive well before it was expected, the quality exceeded my wildest expectations as well. I wear it just about every day now. Well done!

This hat is well made and beautiful. Truly a work of apparel art. I purchased this hat for a present and was amazed at the quality of the materials, construction and comfort.

I love this style of cap, and this one is made beautifully with heavy velvet with quilting. I could not be any happier and i am glad i choose the right seller

I love my smoking hat. I bought it to go with my 1983 Mercedes 240D that is the same car used in Marrakesh for taxis. It's perfect for keeping my head warm while looking cool, and won't blow off if I roll the window down. It's a much nicer quality than I had imagined. It arrived in 2 days which surprised me, so fast!

Handsome in an Edwardian sort of way.

Fits perfectly and is very comfortable and warm. NOT the usual felt wrapped cardboard you get when looking for a hat like this.

I really enjoy this hat to help me stay warm on colder nights before retiring to bed. A cup of tea, a good book, or a classic TV show, the hat is stylish for any occasion. I have worn it to parties and received many compliments about it.

We keep our house at 60 degrees during the winter and it can feel pretty chilly at times. My older husband has lost a lot of hair and had been wearing a winter knitted cap in the house. I just couldn't stand looking at the dopey thing anymore. Pirates of Penzance is one of my favorite movies and I remembered the Major General wearing that smoking cap & robe so I went looking online. I found this smoking cap at the Historical Emporium, got his approval and ordered the purple one. It took him a couple days to get used to wearing it (he felt silly) but I liked it right away. Later, a met a male friend of mine for lunch and he was wearing a hat. He said he'd just gotten a haircut and his head was cold so I told him about the smoking cap. He immediately asked if it was the kind with the tassel...like Groucho Marx! So, there are probably a lot of guys out there with cold heads who would be interested if they weren't afraid of looking silly. I hope you can start a trend with this practical solution for those saving a little money on the heating bill!

We needed this for a play and it shipped quickly and had fine detail and well made

It's soft and very comfortable. XL fits great! Both quality and craftsmanship is superb. Love this!

Whether you wear it as a smoking cap, as a wizard cap, or a historical fez type hat, it fills the bill. Nicely made, and nice looking.

excellent product and service

Quality & sizing is perfect. Will entertain purchasing again in different color.

Now I can smoke without looking silly.

Top notch!

Fit as advertised. Looks even better than the picture. I have the red plush lounging/ smoking jacket already and this is a perfect mate to it.

Just as advertised. I just wish that the smoking jacket I wanted was in stock at the same time of purchase.

I love this hat. Went through the drive through wearing to see what reactions I would get. Both the girls gave me a funny smile like they didn’t know quite what to think.

The cap is well made and quite stunning. The look, feel and fit are great! Thanks

This hat has the feel of old world luxury, and looks great.

Thick, soft material, super comfortable. Quite well constructed also. It does appear to run small, for example I wear a 7 1/4 hat but the size L (7 1/4 - 7 1/2) fit snugly. I'm going to order another just because they're so distinctive.

My smoking hat is Smoking: I got it to drive my gold and black 67 Chrysler Imperial around Houston in .Now when I scoot around town I feel like a true macho hombre! When it cools down I think it will be good for oil painting too .Thanks for the sartorial boost !

Loved it

Being a true 'hat' person I couldn't pass this up. I like the quality. Also, it's perfect for windy days as it's low enough on my head to not blow away. My friends are hysterical that the tassel isn't stuck in place. I also have the hat from BBC "Copper". It's the plain version but I've decorated for each season. One issue, the Smoking Cap is shipped flat. So I've filled it with tissue to get and preserve the round shape. GO FOR IT!

Great fit and look. Measure your head for proper size.

Very nice and fits perfectly.

True to description. I feel like the hat should taper in a little. Very comfortable

We are doing a play and this is a beautiful cap. It will go with my smoking jacket, when it gets here, I'm sure. Just a tiny bit big but I was worried that the large may be to small. It's not too tight and it doesn't fall off so awsome. Beautiful and warm to boot. I've worn it out in public too. Really comphy.

Bought this to go with a smoking jacket of a costume...very pleased.

Bald guys sometimes need to wear a hat inside to keep warm; this one does that, and luxuriously to boot. FYI, the quilting is on the top.

Exactly what I was looking for as a gift for my husband! Color is true to picture.

I like it

The cap looks like the pictures and it appears to be well constructed. Four stars instead of five because it arrived folded flat, leaving creases on the sides. I can probably steam them out, but I would have preferred to have received the product in a wearable state.
