I found a site that has buckram hat bases, including top hats: lacis.com/catalog/catalog.html (go to Costumes --> Millinery) Thought I'd share!

Sun, October 18, 2009 - 11:54 AMAhhh... I forgot about buckram; all the online top hat tutorials use cardboard, and I wasn't thrilled at putting that much work into something so creasable, but this is perfect. Their prices tend to be high though. Oh well, DIY. Thanks for posting.
