From the discernible dome of the Coke (bowler hat) to the timeless silhouette of a top hat, accessorise your city suit and Ascot attire with a Lock hard hat.
For centuries, the top hat has been a mark of distinguishment and class among discerning gentlemen, synonymous with Royal Ascot and weddings. The Town Shell is crafted from stiffened rabbit felt, trimmed with grosgrain along the brim and finished with a wool felt band. Each topper is fully lined and with a leather inner headband. We also include a complimentary white hat box to keep your topper in and can personalise the hat by monogramming.
Due to the nature of top-hat sizing, customers are advised to book an appointment in our shop for a fitting using the conformateur.

The Ascot was created by James Lock III in the 19th century in response to the growing demand for a superior hat to that of the silk topper for the Royal Enclosure at Ascot. To this day, the grey rabbit-felt style continues to prove sartorially popular, not only at the races, but also weddings.
Made for Sir Winston Churchill, worn by Oddjob in "Goldfinger".

Commissioned by Edward Coke to craft a hat hardy enough to protect his gamekeepers, Lock & Co created the iconic Coke (otherwise known as the bowler) in 1849. One of our most enduring styles, the Coke's timelessness is owed to its distinctive domed crown and curled brim. Made from stiffened rabbit felt, the hat is fully lined, with a leather inner headband. To ensure the perfect fit, please book an appointment in our shop to have your head measured with the conformateur.
