Flat Biedermeier top hat made of wool felt

The flat Biedermeier cylinder made of classic wool felt

Less opulent than its Victorian successor, but no less elegant: the Biedermeier top hat is a symbol of subtle style and classic understatement. This model, with its flatter crown, was the preferred headwear of gentlemen in an era that valued bourgeois elegance. In our Altenburg manufactory, we craft this top hat in its historical form, using the time-honored techniques of millinery, which we have cultivated since 1876.

A masterpiece of millinery

Crafting this top hat requires experience and the finest materials. The dimensionally stable crown and elegantly curved brim are shaped by us from high-quality wool felt. This gives the top hat its characteristic, firm structure and a textured, matte finish. The traditional grosgrain ribbon encircling the crown completes the authentic look of this timeless classic.
