    Purplesage - like the British, black was (and still is) the most common colour for hats.

    Report: Bowler hat from Lock & Co

    As far as I know Christys still make their own hats in the UK (apart from the Christys Crown series) but they buy in the fur felt hoods (I've a feeling it's either FEPSA in Portugal or IEPSA in Spain - I'm pretty sure it's not Tonak, although of course they might use multiple suppliers)...

    How about the the Akubra Squatter in Steel Grey? I've got one sitting in a box, but my wife won't let me open it until the 25th ;) Or the Federation in Carbon Grey?

    Thanks. Faversham was fairly badly flooded - a mile diversion to get to the station, but thankfully my house is on a slight incline.

    Any recommendations for what's sometimes known as a 'Bugatti cap' - flat cap with ear flaps that popper close above the cap?

    Eastern European Hats and Makers

    Thanks for the attempted visit. The factory looks pretty small. It's interesting to find out about these little known makers.
