In honour of the Melbourne Cup in Australia today, where a horse race also means frocks, fascinators and assorted fancy fashions, this is a delightful little hat that belongs to my friend, T.
If it looks instantly familiar to you, yes, it is actually meant to be The Mad Hatter's hat,
from the (I think) Disney version of Lewis Carroll's classic, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. You'll note the subtle increase in living costs in the hat's 'price tag'.

Replete with a flamboyant peacock feather!
The hat is not a head-fitting top-hat style; it just small enough that it's meant to be perched at a jaunty little angle on the side of one's head.
Thank you T., for agreeing to (anonymously) model it with such aplomb!
