Top Hats from Village Hats

Beginning with the French Consulate And Empire period in Western history (1800-1815) and escalating into the Romantic Period (1815-1840), high beaver top hats supplanted the cocked hat or the bi/tricorn as the mode in men’s fashion. When, by 1890, the St. James Gazette writes "When we are told, 'He's a fellow who wears a top hat and a frock coat,' we know sufficiently well what sort of fellow he is", the top hat's connotations are well established.
