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.

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.
