Top hats are characterized by tall and flat crowns and wide brims. Also called toppers, they were popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries when men frequently wore them on various occasions. Traditional top hats were made of silk and beaver fur felt. Its variation – the stovepipe hat – was associated with Abraham Lincoln who frequently wore it during his presidency. Later on, top hats were made with hinged frames that made them collapsible.
