Re: Quality of Christys hats

Thank you both for your answers. I allready settled on either the Sportsman or the Epson, leaning towards the latter...
So what about all these englishmen wearing their Trilbys a number or two to small? :?

Quality of Christys hats

I wonder if anyone here is familiar with the range of hatmakers Christys? I am looking for a new Trilby in brown for the racecourse. Which style would be the most authentic? Which material wool felt or fur felt? And how do they compare to Bates, Lock etc.?

Kind regards Cordoba

Trilby in London

Good evening,

I will be in London the coming weekend and need a new Trilby hat.

On my list are Herbert Johnson, Bates and Lock. Do you gentlemen have any opinions on the three makers? Or do you have any other suggestions?

Cheers

Oliver

Hello EHR,

try this: http://www.countryties.com/


Mr. Comfort is very pleasant to deal with. I think they would even do a one-of-a-kind cravat or scarve for you.

Kind Regards

Oliver

Good morning Trevor, i don`t want to insult anyone, but personally can`t quite understand the recomendation of Harvie&Hudson shirts. They indeed have some nice and unique fabrics but I think their construction is not the best. For example they us double needle stitching, they don`t match the pattern...
