How It's Made - The El Dorado Leather Top Hat

The El Dorado is one of our top hats (pun intended) that has been with us for almost half a century. It's also a customer favorite for the same duration it's been around. We wanted to take you in and show how we make the El Dorado today. There is a large array of styles, heights & colors we currently have available for our top hat line.

    Our Marlow (4" crown) is smaller than the El Dorado (4.5" crown) - there is the Hampton, the top is different (3.75" crown) americanhatmakers.com/products/marlow-mens-leather-top-hat-unbanded

    been staring at your website for months i really want a top hat but its hard to commit to such a niche style

    My vote would be for an unbanded El Dorado, this way you can dress it up and switch out your hat bands if you'd like or keep it unbanded for a simple yet sophisticated look. americanhatmakers.com/products/el-dorado-mens-leather-top-hat-unbanded

    I'm in the same boat as you. I think I'm gonna go with the unbanded in a brown.

    WTH ?!?!?! They didn't even show the finished hat. Why do a video like this showing all the steps then cut it off right before the hat is finished?

    Oh man, that is annoying. It got cut. Ugh, thank you for brining it to our attention. We'll look into and will re-upload.

    Possibly the most cringe hat I've ever seen in my life.
