Top Hat

The Top Hat is a members-only land clothing item that is worn on the head. It was first released on June 15, 2010, but it later went on clearance soon after Beta Testing ended. It returned for a short period on January 17, 2013, in the Canyons Pathway "Hat Shop" during the Hatapalooza event. It was released for its third time on May 4, 2017, as part of another short Hatapalooza event.

Appearance
This item is a tall hat with a wide, round brim. The crown of the hat is narrow near the brim and flares out wider as it goes towards the flat top. A band circles around the narrow base and four round buttons stick out around the top edge of the hat. This item has eight original colors and four rare variants for a total of twelve color varieties.
