The actual concept of the top hat is thought to of sprang up from the remarkably similar riding hat; a hat round and cylindrical, except flat. John Hetherington simply added to the height and size of the brim giving it an appearance so grand and statuesque it would symbolize status for all noblemen for many years to come.
