Harry S. Truman Display
This luxurious top hat was worn by former president Harry S. Truman and is constructed with black beaver felt in a size 7 3/8th. The hat has a stiff curled ribbon-bound brim with silk band while the interior is lined in a white silk with silver embroidered initials “HST.” This beautiful headwear was found inside its original hatbox in the attic of Harry S. Truman’s home.
The top hat is part of a display of items from the Truman homestead on loan from the Truman National Historic Site Collection.
