| 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...!
