Discover the allure of handcrafted elegance with the El Diablo gold top hat, a testament to timeless style and artisanal craftsmanship from Cha Cha's House of Ill Repute, the esteemed woman-owned millinery nestled in the heart of New York City. Each season, our collection is graced with a rendition of our best-selling top hat style, and this fall is no exception.
The El Diablo radiates a refined charm with its antique gold hue, achieved through a meticulous hand-dyeing process using an ombre technique that lends depth and character to the velour felt. This technique results in a unique gradient effect, softly transitioning to a lighter shade at the edges, exuding an air of vintage sophistication. We have also added a black version if you are looking for something that will work everyday and any day.
The hat's silhouette is a playful blend of tradition and modernity. Its crown is meticulously blocked, and hand pleated, infusing the piece with a casual, slouchy style that is as comfortable as it is chic. This relaxed form is a delightful departure from the rigidity of classic top hats, inviting a touch of nonchalance to the otherwise formal accessory.
The brim boasts a fine piping of our signature lambskin, a subtle yet luxurious touch. This feature not only enhances the hat's durability but also adds a textural contrast that is both visually appealing and tactile.
Adding to the hat's allure, it is adorned with matching grosgrain ribbon and a distinctive pheasant tail wrap, an embellishment that captures the eye and embodies the spirit of El Diablo. This ornamental flourish celebrates the beauty of the natural world while anchoring the hat's overall design in a realm of opulence.
Each El Diablo top hat is lined with satin, ensuring a seamless fit and providing an extra layer of comfort for the wearer.
Made-to-order with the utmost attention to detail, the El Diablo is more than just an accessory—it is a personal statement, a work of art, and a slice of New York City's fashion heritage, ready to crown your wardrobe with its golden touch.
