| Lock & Co. Hatters |
| Lock & Co. is London's most famous hat shop and is definitely the place to buy your trilby, panama or fedora. They have been selling hats since 1676 and have occupied their present shop on St James's Street continuously since 1764. |
| Lock & Co. created the first Bowler hat in 1850. It was commissioned by Lord Coke of Norfolk to protect the heads of his gamekeepers from angry poachers. |

The phrase "mad as a hatter" derives from the fact that milliners use to suffer brain damage from the poisonous mercury nitrate fumes given off when making felt. |
