LOCK & CO. HATTERS IS THE OLDEST SHOP IN LONDON AND THE OLDEST HAT SHOP IN THE WORLD.

Our passion for hats is limitless and our knowledge unrivalled. For close to 350 years, Lock & Co. Hatters of London have worked with the best felts, tweeds, cloth, and cashmere fabrics sourced exclusively from around the world. Drawing from our unique British heritage and craftsmanship, we create both traditional and modern hat designs for men and women, with scrupulous attention to quality and fit. Lock & Co. Hatters was established in 1676, making it not only the oldest hat shop in London but also the oldest in the world. Our name is synonymous with the finest hats in England. Today, Lock & Co. is celebrated among the most famous hat makers in the UK, renowned for exceptional craftsmanship, timeless style, and enduring quality.

Every Lock & Co. hat purchased is carefully and expertly hand-prepared in our London shop by one of our Hatters, before being whisked out of our famous green front door at No. 6, St James’s Street, London SW1A 1EF. Lock & Co.'s commitment to hat quality is trusted and respected; everything that you would come to expect from the home of hats since 1676.
