Tall gray felt hat

The tall grey felt hat is a light grey top hat with a black band around the crown and a narrow, black-trimmed brim. Women and men wear it to complete a smart costume look during carnival or a themed party. The surface has a felt-like appearance, making the hat look matte and soft instead of shiny.

Why choose a grey top hat instead of a black one?

A grey top hat has traditionally been part of formal daytime attire and the smart gentleman from the era of carriages and frock coats, while black is mainly suitable for evening wear. Grey therefore evokes a wealthy gentleman or a guest at a chic wedding rather than a magician or a circus director. So choose this grey shade if you want an old-fashioned smart look that stands out from the usual black hat. The black band and piping ensure that the hat still matches black clothing.

A Victorian gentleman or smart evening look with the grey hat

A Victorian gentleman is recognizable by a long grey coat, a black tie around a white stand-up collar, round glasses and a grey moustache. You buy those parts separately, because you only receive the hat. For a smart evening look, wear it with a black tuxedo and a black bow tie, so that the black band of the hat is reflected in your outfit. Women wear it with a fitted black jacket for a feminine version of the same smart style.

Choose the tall grey felt hat and your smart carnival look immediately gets its tall, neat silhouette.
