Our Ethos

Revered for our centuries-honed craftsmanship, our innovative designs have graced the heads of some of the greatest figures in history. Admiral Lord Nelson wore our bicorne into the Battle of Trafalgar. Sir Winston Churchill adopted our Cambridge and Homburg hats as his trademarks. Dashing author Oscar Wilde was a fan, while the equally debonair Beau Brummell procured our hats as part of his sartorial repertoire.

​

No matter the customer, what everyone has come to expect from Lock & Co. is the best: the best designs, the best fabrics, the best service. These principles of excellence were established at the beginning by founder James Lock and continue to be upheld by the 7th generation of the family, who still run the business from the shop at No. 6 St. James’s Street, London, today. Two Royal Warrants attest to our commitment to quality that is trusted worldwide.
