    LOCK & CO. AND THE ROYAL SCHOOL OF NEEDLEWORK

    THE BOWLER HAT TURNS 175

    Lock & Co. Hatters are proud to be working with the Royal School of Needlework, and together our goal is to preserve and promote British Craftmanship.

    In 2024, the iconic Coke hat celebrated its 175th anniversary.

    Lock & Co. partnered with the Royal School of Needlework for RSN x Bowler Hat to commemorate this milestone. The collaboration is a testament to the artistry of British heritage craftsmanship in creating and showcasing an exclusive range of 12 bowler hats, each with a unique design and embellished using handmade ribbon work. Each beautiful bowler hat has its own story, brought to life by the meticulous finesse and design skills of the RSN degree students.

    This collaboration celebrates the Bowler hat, but also continues to showcase British Craftmanship and design, whilst supporting some of the RSN degree students.

    From Tuesday 22nd October to Monday 4th November 2024, we were excited to display 12 exclusive and unique Bowler hats in our shop windows.

    These exclusive and unique Bowler hats are available to purchase on our website or in our shop. Each hat will feature a custom-designed, handmade ribbon, making every piece truly unique.
