Hats that Made Britain
The world's most famous hats have their origins in Britain. Their shop at 6 St. In fact, many of them were designed by James Lock & Co, the world's oldest hatters, whose history can be traced back to 1676.
Iconic hats such as the bowler, Nelson's bicorn, Oscar Wilde's fedora, Queen Elizabeth's coronation crown, and Winston Churchill's homburg were created here, and British Tommies in World War I were even fitted for their Mark 1 tin helmets at Lock & Co before traveling to the Western Front. James's Street, London, their headquarters since 1765, has played host to an extraordinary clientele over the years, including Lord Nelson, Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks Junior, Jackie Onassis, and, more recently, Jackie Chan and David Beckham. Britain in 25 Hats celebrates these as well as hats that have graced the screen, such as Oddjob's steel-rimmed Sandringham in Goldfinger
