Green top hat St. Patrick

The green St. Patrick top hat is a grass-green hat with a tall, straight crown, a black band, and a gold-coloured buckle at the front. It is precisely that buckle on the black ribbon that makes it instantly recognisable as an Irish party hat. Men and women wear it on St. Patrick's Day, whether for a parade or an evening in an Irish pub.

What exactly does this St. Patrick hat look like?

• The crown and brim are entirely green, with a matte finish.
• A wide black band runs around the base of the crown.
• On that band is a rectangular gold-coloured buckle with a fine beaded edge.
• The brim runs all around and curves slightly upwards at the sides.
• The hat is made of 97% polyester and 3% polypropylene.
• It is intended for women and men, and you receive only the hat.

Green and a buckle: the Irish leprechaun look

St. Patrick's Day is the national holiday of Ireland, named after Saint Patrick, the patron saint of the country. Green is the traditional colour on that day, along with the three-leaf clover. A green hat with a buckle refers to the leprechaun, the gnome from Irish folklore who is usually depicted in green. Because of this, everyone recognises this hat as Irish, even without further explanation.

How to wear the green hat in a parade or pub

During a St. Patrick's parade, the tall crown stands out above the crowd, so keep the rest of your outfit simple: a green jacket or cardigan and a white shirt are enough. If you want to continue the leprechaun look, add a green bow and a red beard. If you are going to an Irish evening in the pub, combine the hat with a plain green sweater and you will immediately be in theme. The bow, jacket and beard are sold separately, as they are not included with the hat.
