Questions about Hat Ribbons

Lock & Co or Christy's?!
I don't know about the top hats, but Christy's make Lock & co branded Bowlers for Lock & co... The Royal warrant just means someone in the Royal household buys from them - it's not worth anything other than as a marketing tool. -
Falcon Park Hattery
Harv - looks great. 7 months is a good wait though. -
