Black Silk Top Hat sales is the exclusive business of Vintage-Toppers which was established to supply traditional black silk top hats for Ascot and other formal occasions. Our customers are those who are concerned to have the correct attire for the occasion. For Royal Ascot hats are obligatory and nothing is better than a tradition black silk top hat.
The traditional black silk top hat is no longer manufactured and all our stock is, therefore, vintage. We scour the country for suitable hats.
In order to ensure our customers are supplied with the highest quality product all our hats are properly reconditioned and returned to first class condition.
John Cugley of Vintage Toppers is a regular in the Royal Enclosure at Ascot and has an encyclopaedic knowledge of black silk top hats and has often contributed to Jeff Banks' BBC interludes on fashion and etiquette at Ascot.
