    Oldest Hat Shops in the US

    I think the oldest continuously operating hat shop in the UK must be Lock & Co, from the 18th century. I must confess that I am not a customer of theirs, as other retailers afford better value.

    Thanks very much for the info, @Steve1857 . The hat and box are on sale at a local charity shop and I believe they are pricing it a bit low. The hat is in decent shape and a size 7 or slightly larger and just £ 75. The box, which is in quite good shape, is shown as £ 150. That seems a bit low...

    A great comedy film from Italy, "The Widower" (1959) is replete with homburgs ("Lobbia", in Italian).

    Here we go. I bought the hat second-hand at Portobello market. It came with a box, too, though some very stupid #@&%$ burglars wrecked it... The hat itself is in very good nick, I think.

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    Perhaps the picture I posted, somewhat lightheartedly, is at the "presentist" end of vintage. Though i think that anyone, today, wearing a 3PC suit, hombrg and club collar is clearly not teh norm, even in London (let aloen anywhere else). I was trying to address mode of dress that I think we...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    Agreed; it can mean several things. In the context I am using, it would refer to anyone who, occasionally or frequently or even daily, dons clothes that are generally archaic or disused in contemporary culture. I don't mean a suit or a tie (though they are increasingly rare). I mean a boater hat...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    If you go back a couple of pages you w The one I mentioned in post #3213. I am looking at how various vintage style choices might (accent on MIGHT) affect not so much the wearer/enthusiast but also those around them.

    Thanks for the answers, Banky and Shangas. I reckon that actually this question might work as a seaprate thread in the apparel section.
