Okay peeps, I am looking for an ivory or cream top hat. NOT white.
A quick browse here: http://www.uniformalwearhouse.com/apages/tuxedoahats.html shows me that the styles I prefer are not available in the color I want (Yes, I'm looking for maybe the Prince Charles Top Hat, the Stubby Carriage Top Hat, or the Victorian Caroler Tall Hats. I am predictable in my tastes.)
Anyway, a top hat that is of an interesting shape, and in ivory. Used or vintage is fine, but I don't want to pay insane prices for it, and (here's the big catch) I need it in under two weeks. Anyone have any leads?

I am, however, very curious to see an outfit from you that requires an ivory hat...

It might even be possible to immersion-dye, if you could stuff it to maintain the shape perfectly through the dyeing and drying and get it all in at once (to avoid the dip-dyed look). That's probably about as risky as brush/spray dyeing, just in different ways.

But! Thank you for the clicky-link, and if my search this weekend doesn't turn anything up, I have that as a back-up.

2. Take a white one and give it a medium-ecru lace overlay, for that crossdyed lace look?

I second Byrnie Utz as a possibility: if there's a shop in town that would have anything like what you want on the shelves, that would be the one.

If they look nervous about it try a sample spray in the interior first.
