About the Brand:
In 1903. from their humble Manchester premises. they turned out a mere 25-dozen hats per week. Growing steadily. by the 1940's they were making 5.000-dozen hats per week. even finding time to contribute towards the war effort by hand-crafting flying helmets for the RAF and 'special equipment' for commando frogmen.
When demand for their fur-felt hats began to dwindle in the 1950s. they could 'see the writing on the wall' and already had a viable alternative ready when the market collapsed altogether.
Their fabric variants soon took off. winning favour both with the avant-garde and 'man in the street' alike.
Today they are still concentrating on tomorrow. forever introducing new twists on ever-popular models. introducing next-generation fabrics. textures. and colours. always inventing. always progressing.
