Founded in 1676, Lock & Co. Hatters is the oldest hat shop in the world and a cornerstone of British craftsmanship.

Nestled in St James’s, London, it’s served royals, celebrities, and discerning individuals for more than three centuries – including Sir Winston Churchill, Admiral Lord Nelson, and Oscar Wilde.

Steeped in tradition yet forward-thinking in design, Lock & Co. is synonymous with timeless elegance, innovative creations, and bespoke services.

We’ve teamed up with the storied hatters to give you the chance to win its new Fairbanks trilby.

A hero piece from its AW24 signature collection, the stylish hat is named after US actor Douglas Fairbanks Junior, who once resided above the brand’s home at No. 6 St James’s Street.

Lock & Co trilby hat

This well-proportioned hat, with a brim that’s not too wide and a crown that’s not too high, suits almost everyone. Crafted from luxurious beaver felt with a grosgrain band and bow, the trilby’s neat brim features a whipped edge that ensures it maintains its refined silhouette.

The Fairbanks embodies all the hallmarks of Lock & Co. Hatters: quality, style, longevity, and impeccable craftsmanship.

Each hat is crafted with the same dedication to detail that has been Lock & Co’s hallmark for centuries, blending tradition with contemporary style.
