The indisputable master of hats for both gentlemen and ladies is Lock & Co.
As a resident of London’s St James’s Street since 1676, the family-owned business has been of service to both local and international elite for generations. The top hat has been the mark of a distinguished, discerning gentleman for centuries, synonymous with Royal Ascot and weddings. This Town Shell top hat is crafted from stiffened rabbit felt, trimmed with grosgrain along the brim and finished with a wool felt band. Each topper is fully lined and with a leather inner headband.
Equally elegant for ladies attending Royal Ascot, the Elana pictured her can be dyed-to-match an outfit or accessories to create the perfect bespoke look. Made out of hand-dyed sinamay straw and vintage lace, this is a gorgeous feminine piece.
Top hat £425 / €485 / $600
Elana £965 / €1,100 / $1,356
