Decorated Felt Top Hat
Our top hats are 100% hatter grade, wool felt. They are then custom decorated. Hats can be decorated with feather, ribbon, rope, various charms, and even actual working clocks. Top hats are, well, intended to be worn. They are a smashing addition to any steampunk costume, and look great with goggles. Even if you aren't a steampunk, top hats are great for day wear and are an a wonderful accessory to wear to the ballet or opera. All Airship Isabella merchandise has a lifetime warranty. We will happily help you if anything should break on your product. The only thing we can't cover is glass (there is nothing we can do to make glass unbreakable).

We are The Airship Isabella.
The Airship Isabella is a mercenary ship for hire. Through the use of steam powered generators, augmented by a mysterious essence known only as Aether, the crew travels from dimension to dimension, from time to time, completing jobs, causing a ruckus, and "collecting" goods from each individual world. The crew consists of many a rag-tag personality, but together they make a family.
On the flip side of the story, ASI is a group of artists, performers, and visionaries who have bound together to create characters who explore the boundaries of the Steampunk community and a menagerie of worlds to put them in. On their agenda: to create art for others to enjoy as much as themselves, to share their knowledge with those who find it of interest, to encourage people who would otherwise find themselves incapable of creating something wonderful to put their worries aside and realize that - with the right knowledge and tools - they can do it too!
This Custom Made shop, along with our table space at conventions, are the funding sources for our community outreach into steampunk, our art and our performances. Every item we sell is handmade by a member of our crew for the purpose of helping to fund our mission. If you find something you like, or can think of something you want, let us know and we will gladly help you. Know your purchase is going to a good cause and is supporting the arts and creativity in our community as a whole. Thank you!

For A Grey-colored Replica of Tim Burton's Mad Hatter's Hat4.8The hat was exactly what we were looking for and it was perfectly whimsical. They kept us up-to-date through every step and made sure to send us lots of pictures of the progress as we went along. It was shipped on time and so carefully that there wasn't a smidgen of damage to it.

For One of a Kind Hat4.8Airship Isabella took a vision of a hat I had and made it in to reality. The hat was fantastic and the few places I've taken it have been hugely complimented and even called art. The hat artest I worked with was very promoted and consulted me every step along the way to make sure the end product is what I wanted. I'm VERY happy they are very good artist. I hope to buy from them again.

For David's Cell phone/e-mod/folder knife holster3.8I received my pouch from the maker; Airship Isabella today. Overall, I was much impressed with the item. In the light of construction criticism, I would make the following comments: I invited for bids a difficult project from a company not set up to do molded/sewn leather. Airship Isabella was the only company of the two who responded that said they could do the job. I provided a diagram and photos of similar elements and went over the details for some period getting the factors understood and taking advantage of their advice. I understood that my project was not within their mainstream product line from viewing their portfolio, and knew it would stretch their abilities to make a "particular" old man happy. They succeeded within 95% of what I was hoping for and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to other potential customers. I would have preferred quicker feedback to my e-mails, but so appreciate the fact that when elements didn't turn out to their level of professionalism, the redid the piece rather than deliver an inferior product. I'm sure I heard my name taken in vain from the direction of New Orleans on more than one occasion, but at the end of the day, I expect to wear the piece they made for me for many years to come. Thank you Airship Isabelle.

For looking for a 100% brown leather top hat that has to do with truck driving5.0These guys are the best hands down. Super easy to work with and they went above and beyond my expectations. I will recommend them to everybody I know that is looking for something custom made. I am more than happy with my finished product. I will be a repeat customer no doubt.

For A character from a game called League of Legends. His name is Ezreal. The Goggles he wears on his head.4.2I like the way they do their stuff. I went around looking at some of their old work and they literally just kick ass at what they do.
