What a splendid hat! The voluminous ruffles! It has certainly caused genuine amusement for this pair of Edwardian gents. 
(I have still not found a vintage top hat which fits me, I’m coming to the conclusion I have an unusually shaped head, as the harder kind of bowler hats and velvet hunt-style riding caps are never the right dimensions either.)
