Choosing a hat as a gift takes a little thought, it’s about matching style, personality, and practicality. A few things to consider: your recipient’s face shape, their height, and the way they like
to wear their hats. Here’s how to find the right one:
1. Consider their personal style
Think about what they already enjoy wearing. A classic fedora works well for someone with sophisticated, traditional tastes, while a soft beret or trilby might suit someone with a more modern, relaxed style.
2. Think of their lifestyle
Is it for winter walks in the countryside, walking the dog, festive gatherings, or smart city commutes? Everyday wearers might go for a flat cap or wool felt hat, while those dressing for special occasions could be drawn to a sculpted piece from our women’s couture collection. And those always on the go might prefer a rollable and packable option.
3. Choose the right fit
Fit is key to comfort and confidence. If you’re unsure of the size, our Lock & Co. Gift Card makes a thoughtful option, allowing the recipient to visit our St James’s shop in person or shop online with the help of our hat sizing guide.
4. Presentation counts
The last touch is the presentation. Although not every hat comes with our signature hat box, these can be purchased separately to add flair to your gift and make it ideal for placing under the tree or as a keepsake for years to come.
For almost 350 years, Lock & Co. Hatters has been shaped by the traditions that make a gift truly special; heritage, craft, and genuine care. This Christmas, choose something lasting, something made to be worn, appreciated, and remembered for years to come.

The right fit is essential for both comfort and style. A well-fitting flat cap should feel secure without being tight, sit correctly on your head, and complement your face shape.
A flat cap is a rounded, soft-crowned hat with a short, stiff brim at the front. First appearing in Northern England in the 14th century, flat caps became embedded in British and Irish life after a 1571 law encouraged their wear among men of the working classes. By the late 19th and early 20th century, they were worn by everyone from labourers and farmers to gentlemen at leisure. Today, the flat cap retains its heritage charm while being embraced as a versatile style in both town and country.
A flat cap is one of the most versatile hats you can own. Whether you are dressing for a weekend walk, a day in the city, or a smart country wedding, the flat cap adds effortless polish while remaining comfortable and practical. Here is everything you need to know about wearing one with confidence.
Flat caps are designed to last for years, but proper care is key to maintaining their shape, colour, and quality. Different materials -wool, tweed, linen, leather - require slightly different cleaning approaches.
Flat caps are travel-friendly by design, but a little care goes a long way in keeping them looking sharp - whether you are storing them at home or packing them for a trip.
Getting the right size is the key to a perfect fit. Here’s how to measure your head accurately and choose the right flat cap size.
Flat caps remain a staple in 2025, evolving with fresh cuts, new fabrics, and seasonal colour shifts. Here are Lock & Co.’s most notable trends this year, drawn directly from what’s in stock now, with styling tips and product examples to match.
