Quick Overview
Once in vogue, this top hat style was first brought to the Oglala Lakota by American Horse. He was an honored guest of then president Abraham Lincoln.

This decorative top hat by Native American artist Mike McLeod is a tribute to the veterans of the Vietnam conflict.
Description
The hat features exquisite beadwork in the colors and design of the Vietnam service ribbon. This ribbon was awarded by the U.S. Armed Forces during the conflict.

Decorated using the whip stitch beadwork technique around the brim, the artist uses Czech seed beads in the colors of the service ribbon.

Bone hair pipe makes the hat band, and as a finishing touch, the design is completed with two imitation golden eagle feathers.

The length measurement is from the top of the feathers to the bottom of the hat.
