Christys' Hats

Christys is world renowned as one of the oldest hat companies in the world. In 1773 Miller Christy finished his apprenticeship to a hatter in Edinburgh and moved back to London where he founded his own hat shop. Christys cemented their position in the millinery world during the 1850s when Prince Albert began wearing Christy's brand top hats along with other members of the royal family. Over the past 200 years Christys has provided hats to everyone from movie stars to royalty. Some of the most notable people to wear their hats include Marlon Brando in The Godfather, Winston Churchill, the London Police Force and many others. Their hats are sold in top retailers around the world from Liberty in London to Bergdorf Goodman in New York and even DelMonico Hatter!
