Your Hat Box is Empty
The Ascot was designed in the nineteenth century by James Lock III in response to the growing demand for a superior hat to the silk topper for the Royal Enclosure at Ascot. The grey rabbit-felt style is still sartorially popular today, not only at the races but also at weddings.
We also include a complimentary hatbox to store your top hat.
Our town shell top hat has a 5.2 cm curled brim with a 13.5 cm crown and is finished with a 4 cm wool felt band.
Each topper is fully lined with a leather inner headband.
For our Ascot top hat, carefully buff the surface with a piece of crushed, white tissue paper.
Top hats should be restored after every use. Lock & Co. offers a range of services – please contact us to discuss with our master hatters.
