With a morning coat, there is only one appropriate hat to wear: the top hat. It is the only correct choice because the long tails of the morning coat require a proportionally elongated hat.
As if that were not enough, you do even have the choice between two top hats:
- Black Silk Top Hat
- Gray Top Hat
Although in its shape similar to a top hat, the chapeau claque – also know as opera hat – is not suited for morningwear.
On the other hand, it would be a faux pas to wear a top hat with a stroller suit since it does not have tails. However, you could wear a Homburg hat with the stroller suit or a Bowler hat, which is also known as Coke.

I personally like Fedora very much (more than Bowler or Homburg). I like the smoothness and slimness of it at the front. What do you think about wearing it with a stroller? Is it inappropriate? I know Homburg is more formal, but would that be a mistake?
