Christys' Hats

Quality Craftsmanship Since 1773. Christys' is the only company in the world still making high quality top hats and bowlers in the traditional way. Using hatting skills established over 200 years ago, the dedication of their highly skilled craftsmen and women is helping to keep a valuable industry very much alive.

Today, the making of quality felt hats is still a very labour intensive process. With some 45 operations involved, many done by hand, the skills of the hatmakers have to be developed over many years or specializing in one operation.
