Lock & Co. Vlog

The Bond Vivant

Gentlemen, and ladies. I will be visiting Lock & Co on Monday to shoot a vlog. Does anyone have any burning questions for me to ask them? If so, ping me a PM!

Cheers,

I don't know if this is common knowledge or not but could you please ask them if they made the Hats for Hervé Villechaize as Nick Nack in The Man With The Golden Gun?

if they did could you ask if they have any records about the hat, it's size and if they have any photo's etc. of his fitting.

Also perhaps a little off topic did they do any of the hats for John Steed in The Avengers?

And finally... Where they surprised when Colin Firth's character recommended them as the place that Sammuel L Jackson could get a Top Hat for Ascot in Kingsman: The Secret Service?

I’d like to know more about their relationship with Nelson and if they have any of his patterns, especially the green shaded naval hats he had made after he was blinded. And Kingsman stuff too, as they allude in the film that the shop was part of the Kingsman spy ring due to the hat being bugged by them for Harry.

So much stuff really. Their work on Darkest Hour etc.

I’m pretty sure they had nothing to do with The Avengers though. Steed’s bowlers were made by another company. I can’t remember who now, Jaxon & James comes to mind, but I’m not 100%.

Thanks for sharing that - I've just started being a fan of The Avengers - although whenever I search for it online all I seem to get is stuff about Marvel films and comics... but this will give me a place to start my investigations.

I've had to reluctantly come to the conclusion, that although I like a hat, they really don't suit me! Are they able to find a style of hat for everyone?
