Great Big Story | This London shop invented the bowler hat! 😯 @GreatBigStory | Uploaded 4 months ago | Updated 2 hours ago
Step inside the world's oldest hat shop, Lock & Co. Hatters, and meet Roger Stephenson, the Deputy Chairman and seventh-generation family member who takes immense pride in being part of such a longstanding business.

Nestled in the heart of London, we sent Stuart from the Great Big Story team to explore the captivating story of this iconic shop and get fitted for his very own hat. From crafting the iconic bowler hat to serving clientele like Winston Churchill, Samuel L. Jackson, Nick Cage and even James Bond, we delve into the craftsmanship and tradition that has crowned this establishment as the go-to hatter for celebrities and hat aficionados alike.

Don’t miss this journey through history and style, where every hat tells a story. Tip your hat to tradition!
