Man’s top hat of shaggy gray fur felt. Crown is 7.25” high with a slightly wider top. Brim is 2.75” with slight upward tip of the side edges. Tan grosgrain hatband with a single loop and ends at the side; matching ribbon binding. Lining is missing, but there is a brown paper cutout in the top which appears to be modern, like grocery bag paper.
