Traditional top hats were made of felt that was formed from animal furs. Expensive hats were made from beaver fur, which has hairs that readily interlock and form a strong water-resistant felt. Cheaper hats were made from things like rabbit fur, which had to be specially treated with mercurous nitrate in order to form a felt. A later acid treatment would leave behind traces of elemental mercury, which would then be evaporated during the finishing and forming process.

I was led (no pun) to believe that it was Lead that hatters used to brim top hats and make them stiff, and the Lead is what caused people to go mad. Mad as a Hatter
