James Lock & Co Ltd

Clothing & Accessories

The world's oldest hat shop celebrated 340 years in 2016 and continues to be the ultimate purveyor of men's, women's and children's hats. Founded in 1676 by Robert Davis, the St. James's Street shop is the 34th worlds oldest family-owned business.
We believe in quality, functionality and preserving classic British hat-wearing. We believe in using the very finest materials, razor-sharp craftsmanship and having a meticulous eye for detail. Our passion for hats is unfounded, and this is what makes us an iconic hat brand in the UK and also globally. The proof is in the history. For centuries we have supplied some of history's best-known figures with hats; from Admiral Lord Nelson to Winston Churchill. We created the world’s first bowler hat (known to hat aficionados as the ‘coke’) and to this day work with actors, sportsmen, politicians and businessmen alike. Our styles are pioneering, trusted and timeless.
