Lock & Co., founded in 1676 by James Lock, is the world's oldest hat shop, the oldest shop in London, and one of the oldest family-owned businesses still in operation, currently run by the 7th generation of the Lock family from the shop at No. 6 St. James's Street, London.
Revered for their centuries-honed craftsmanship and commitment to quality that is trusted worldwide, the twice-held Royal Warrant Holder's innovative designs have graced the heads of some of the most significant figures in history, including Admiral Lord Nelson, Sir Winston Churchill, and Oscar Wilde, while the equally debonair Beau Brummell procured their 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, and the best service.

To celebrate the Coronation of His Majesty The King Charles III, Highgrove Gardens and Lock & Co. have collaborated to release the Highgrove Special Edition Coronation Panama Hat.
This special-edition Panama hat is designed for both men and women and embodies the classic Panama style. Handcrafted by skilled artisans in Ecuador, each hat is then blocked and trimmed in England, resulting in a piece that exudes timeless elegance and summer charm.
Each Highgrove Panama Hat is elegantly finished with green and gold grosgrain ribbons and is presented in a bespoke green and gold box to mark this historic occasion.
Ben Dalrymple, Managing Director at Lock & Co., said: “Lock & Co. is both honoured and delighted to be working with Highgrove to produce these beautifully made Panama hats, the profits from which go towards raising vital funds for The Prince’s Foundation."
Scott Simpson, Head of Group Retail for The Prince's Foundation, said: "We are delighted to announce the release of the Highgrove Panama Hat to mark the Coronation of His Majesty The King Charles III. We are pleased to be working with Lock & Co. who exemplify excellence in British style and craftsmanship. As with all sales of Highgrove products, garden tours, and events, proceeds will be used to enable the life and work of The Prince's Foundation, including its range of inspiring education and training programmes."
The sale of Highgrove Products, Garden Tours and Events support and enable the life and work of The King’s Foundation.
