This tall top hat gives you extra presence.
This is near enough for me a stove pipe style top hat, perhaps to be a perfect stove pipe it needs the side of cylindrical crown more parallel and the brim flatter, but height wise its got the credentials.
Just look at images of Isambard Kingdom Brunel or Abraham Lincoln to see the difference.
Stove Pipe a sub category of top hat, also know as chimney pot hat, a very Victorian hat.
Like all good Victorians I need to check my steampunk containment device is still containing the fresh air that was put in it and the clock is set half past 1833.
