Silk hat - Silk hat (English spelling)

A men's hat with a high, cylindrical crown, flat top, and narrow brim that is turned up on both sides. It is black and shiny. It was invented by the Englishman John Hetherington in 1797, and was called silk beaver hat because it was made of beaver, but it gradually changed to silk with a fluffy finish. It became very popular around 1830, and was commonly worn by young people during the 19th century. From the end of the century, it became a formal dress hat and was worn until the first half of the 20th century. It was also sometimes worn in colors other than black as a casual dress. It has also been worn as a formal riding hat by women since the mid-19th century. It is also called a top hat or high hat.

クラウンが円筒状で高く、頂上は平らで、狭いブリムは両側で折り返してある男子の帽子。黒く光沢がある。1797年にイギリス人ヘザリントンJohn Hetheringtonが考案したもので、ビーバー製であったため、シルク・ビーバーとよばれたが、しだいに絹のフラシ天仕上げ(起毛仕上げ)に変わっていった。1830年ごろから非常に人気が出て、19世紀中は若者たちなどにより一般的に用いられた。同世紀末からは正式礼装用となり20世紀前半までかぶられた。また、くだけた服装として黒以外の色が用いられることもあった。女子の正式な乗馬用帽子にも19世紀中ごろからかぶられている。トップハットtop hat、ハイハットhigh hatなどとよぶこともある。
