Inspired by music, culture, and the people who surround them, Brixton Ltd. is the collaboration of three friends who wanted to convey their lifestyle through unique products. Created in 2004, the timeless and clean design of the Brixton collection is hard to duplicate and comes in a variety of styles that appeal to the individual in a modern yet traditional way.

Founded in Cleator, Cumbria, England in 1938 by Jaques Spreiregen, Kangol produced hats for workers, golfers, and especially soldiers. They were the major beret suppliers to the armed forces during World War 2, including famously Field Marshal Montgomery.

Nowadays, Kangol is a household name where hats are concerned. Samual L Jackson is famous for wearing his Kangol hats, as are L.L. Cool J, Missy Elliot, B.B. King, Quentin Tarantino, Jude Law, Brad Pitt, and of course, in the 60's The Beatles.


Bailey® of Holywood began producing fine dress headwear in 1922, priding itself on founder George Bailey’s emphasis on the importance of a professionally crafted hat. Classic styles such as fedoras, godfathers and derby’s were engineered and popularized by Bailey Hats in the 1920’s. Bailey Hats were seen on silver screen icons like Clark Gable and Humphrey Bogart. These individually handcrafted hats last a lifetime and always carry a strong and sophisticated look. The hats are durable and most provide protection in any weather. With the foundation of a long and proud heritage, world-renowned quality, innovation, and fashion forward styling, Bailey Hats continues to be a leader in the western, fashion and casual mens hat arena.

When Miller Christy began making the finest quality hats in London in 1773, no one could have known the quality and tradition of that bygone age would live on more than 200 years later.

It took Miller a seven year apprenticeship to learn the "art and mystery of feltmaking". Those skills have not changed and have been passed down to the current generation of hat makers.

The large red hat boxes with the "Christys' London" name embossed in gold are a familiar sight wherever quality hats are sold.

Throughout the world when people see a Christy hat, they know there has been no compromise in quality and that the hat on their head bears the tradition started by Miller Christy all those years ago.

Today the tradition carries through not only the feltmaking but into a wide range of products suiting the demands of the modern world. We think Miller would be rather proud of our Riding and Dressage hats; perhaps be a little surprised at our choice of colours on some of the more fashionable Felts; we know he would greatly appreciate the casual elegance and quality of our Panama's; as far as our Baseball cap and fashion ranges are concerned, we thought it best not to ask...!

1830 - John Batterson Stetson was born on May 5th, in East Orange, New Jersey. His father, Stephen Stetson was a successful hatter who ran the No Name Hat Company. The company was known for their superior quality hats and John B. learned the trade as a child. It is said that the No Name Company made hats for George Washington.

1998 - Stetson partners with the Friedrich W. Schneider Hat Company, a company founded in 1913, to distribute Stetson hats throughout Europe. FWS soon becomes an official licensee and began to design, manufacture and distribute fashion hats & caps made exclusively for the European markets.

2010 - Stetson works with Albertus Swanepoel – a favorite milliner of fashion insiders and a true talent in headwear design – to create a small fashion hat collection that is a commercial and critical success. Stetson collaborates with CFDA award winner Billy Reid on its first hat line for the designer. Fall 2011 is now in the works. Stetson signs on new partners to bring Stetson belts, wallets and home textiles to market in 2011.

Fuct was among the pioneers of this movement, along with Stussy, Keith Haring’s pop shop and Japan's Hysteric Glamour. They have created various skateboard deck artworks, clothing designs and Zippo lighter designs.
