    London's Metropolitan Policemen Peelers uset to wear Stove-pipe top hats for standing on to look over people's heads and walls. They were strong enough for it back then. In 1863 the first custodian helmets were adopted. The London Policemen top hats from 1829 to 1863.

      @@heinzguderianbutmoreyounge9659 I currently polish my top hats with a soft hatbrush>water misty spray>velvet finger mouse, but I've heard that water polishing somehow hardens the silk. Do you know if this hardening is permanent, how it happens and how dangerous it is?
      Also, I've heard about Tallow polishing and other polishing methods which involve hardening a layer of fat, for example, over the top hat to hold the silk flat, but this sounds risky/dangerous. Do you have any advice to preserve my hat?
