A top hat, silk hat, cylinder hat, chimney pot hat or stove pipe hat (sometimes also known by the nickname topper) is a tall, flat-crowned, broad-brimmed hat worn prior to and including the 19th and early 20th centuries. Now, it is usually worn only with morning dress or white tie, as servants' or doormen's livery, or as a fashion statement. The standard top hat is a hard, black silk hat, with fur now often used.
