Plain, FULL SIZED handmade top hat for a more sophisticated look. Wear it plain or just add a scarf or goggles! Or if you're feeling creative, decorate it yourself!!

My new line of plain hats without decorations, are handmade to my usual standards and covered in a stunning range of fabrics. The only difference to my full priced hats are these hats come without any decorations, to enable you to finish the hat to your own style and taste.

For many, Steampunk and costuming is all about having a go yourself, so these plain hats give you a top quality, handmade hat as a perfect base for your own creativity!

If you're looking for a specific colour, or would like a hat to match an outfit you have made, please message me as I offer a custom service FREE OF CHARGE on this range of hats!

Every one of my full size hats are made to order to ensure the perfect fit. I prefer to make your hat to measure (the circumference taken half an inch above your ears), but if you’re buying for someone else, I do offer standard sizes of extra small, small, medium, large or extra large (21, 22, 23, 24 or 25 inches respectively). I also include padding strips for the perfect fit!

I also offer 3 heights of hat crown. These are shallow, medium and tall. The dimensions are listed in the variations option below, but please note these are approximate, as the height will alter slightly with size. If you require something specific, or taller than those offered, please contact me.

GENUINE QUALITY

Based on authentic historical techniques, I’ve developed my own processes, using a mix of sewing and gluing, to produce lightweight but sturdy hats. There’s no cardboard or plastic in my hats, I only use genuine milliners buckram!

Regardless of size, all my hats have an open crown, are fully lined and have a curved brim with a sewn edge. My full-size hats also have a mouldable, wire brim. My fabulous range of fabrics are iron pressed into place to prevent unsightly gathering. I strive for quality and artistry, which is reflected in my pricing.

This listing is for a full sized hat, however, I offer five sizes of hats in total. Please follow this link to see all my sizes available:

Most of my hats can be made in any of the sizes I offer.

WISH TO ADD A VEIL?

I offer a detachable birdcage or blush veil in a variety of colours. Please follow the link to add this to your basket for payment.

As a UK-based, solo craftswoman, I lovingly make all my items from start to finish myself. No two of my creations will ever be exactly the same, making each item unique to you! I work in a smoke free environment.

CAN’T SEE WHAT YOU WANT?

I love nothing more than to work to a theme, match a colour scheme, or bring your ideas to life, so custom requests are always welcomed! Please contact me so we can brainstorm together.

I LOVE my new top hat! Hats never fit my small head and I'm so delighted that this one actually fits. Plus, it's gorgeous! The silver gray paisley material looks rich and will go with anything. It's perfect for being the master of ceremonies at my 20th annual Halloween party. The photo isn't the best, but only because I'm terrible at selfies. And, Teri of OohLaLaBoudoir was fantastic about ensuring that I got this item on time for my event (more than a week early even). I hope I have another occasion to buy from this awesome shop.

Response from Teri Aldersey

For full transparency I want to explain this one. The original review said although he loved the hat, he'd received no response to a message sent to me, hence 3* review. Having never recieved any communications from the buyer, I contacted him immediately. The buyer sent me a screen grab of his message sent. The message went to a different seller, with a different name and profile picture to mine. I explained there is no connection to me or my shop, and explained ways he could check this (click through, link from order to seller etc) The buyer agreed to amend his review. Unfortunately, although Gareth has amended the wording, the star rating wasn't changed. I have asked if the star rating could be amended also, but received no further response.
