Meet the Maker - Lock & Co. Hatters since 1676

Table of Contents

    Lock & Co., founded in 1676 by James Lock, is the world's oldest hat shop, the oldest shop in London, and one of the oldest family-owned businesses still in operation, currently run by the 7th generation of the Lock family from the shop at No. 6 St. James's Street, London.

    Revered for their centuries-honed craftsmanship and commitment to quality that is trusted worldwide, the twice-held Royal Warrant Holder's innovative designs have graced the heads of some of the most significant figures in history, including Admiral Lord Nelson, Sir Winston Churchill, and Oscar Wilde, while the equally debonair Beau Brummell procured their hats as part of his sartorial repertoire.

    No matter the customer, what everyone has come to expect from Lock & Co. is the best: the best designs, the best fabrics, and the best service.
