BRITISH DESIGN

At Laird Hatters, we believe that true style is eternal—it evolves but never fades. Our commitment to British heritage is woven into every stitch, every seam, and every silhouette we create.

A Legacy of Craftsmanship

We collaborate with Britain's most esteemed textile mills, manufacturers, and artisan workshops to bring you hats made from:

  • Luxurious Wools: Wool is more than just a fabric; it's a cornerstone of British history. Integral to our isles for centuries and championed by initiatives like the Campaign for Wool under King Charles III, wool embodies qualities we hold dear. It's natural, renewable, biodegradable, insulating, breathable, resilient, and sourced locally. We use it extensively in our Autumn/Winter collections—in tweeds, solid colours, and a variety of finishes.
  • Fine Fabrics: Our range includes moleskin, corduroy, cottons, linens, and denim. Each material is selected for its quality and character, allowing us to offer a diverse collection that suits every season and style.
  • Exquisite Finishings: Details matter. From handcrafted ribbons to silk printing and those subtle, hidden elements that elevate each piece, we ensure every hat is a masterpiece of craftsmanship.

Timeless Designs with a Modern Twist

Hats and caps have evolved over centuries, yet many styles we adore today have roots in the Victorian era, the roaring 1920s, and the elegant 1940s—periods renowned for their fashion breakthroughs. We take these iconic designs and reimagine them for the modern wearer, adding vibrant colours and contemporary touches that set our hats apart.

The Art of Slow Fashion

In a world obsessed with speed, we champion the art of taking one's time. Hat-making is a craft steeped in love and skill—a form of "slow fashion" that values quality over quantity. Each hat is meticulously crafted to ensure it not only looks good but stands the test of time.

As proud members of the UK Fashion and Textile Association (UKFT), we are committed to supporting British manufacturing and keeping traditional craftsmanship alive. By choosing Laird Hatters, you're not just buying a hat; you're investing in a piece of British heritage.
