Christys' London has been putting out the best-looking men's hats in the world since 1773. We're talking dress fedoras and classic safari hats; perfect panamas, crisp linen ivy caps and outbacks with attitude. If you already knew all that, then you're not only hat-smart, but probably very well dressed to boot. If you went on to extol the excellence that is Christys' Piccadilly fashion ivy cap made from a sweet blend of linen and cotton (with contrast piping just because), then I salute you.
If you chose to don The Big Ben ivy cap, in its sharp natural or black pin stripe linen blend, or the more streetwear casual ivy called The Thames Cap, I still salute you. In fact, whether it's that excellent linen Marlowe (with jacquard lining), the 8/4 panel newsboy or one of the new viscose caps that you finally settle on, I'll toast every last one of you.

As an aside, I should let you know that I don't expect to hang on to The Piave for very long. This patchwork ivy has created quite a buzz, as has the tony Kensington with its subtle tone on tone texture and satin lining. Same story with The Claudius, a masterpiece of a newsboy, part of Christys' Italian Collection. Of course, life's just not complete without a genuine fur felt cap somewhere in the manse, and you can satisfy your cravings with The Ascot. There's a fabulous rex (in your choice of two herringbones) which deserves a place of honor in every gent's wardrobe; and when wool's what you're looking for in a newsboy, you won't do better than The Ione, a cashmere blend and oh-so-soft creation available in purest black.
If you're careful, you can bring your Christys' Gambler Panama Hat or that grand Grade 8 Panama, The Outback, or even the other Weatherall-treated, broad brim bleached straw, The Safari Panama, on this year's Serengeti sojourn (yes, the backyard barbecue too), but do take the same level of care you might with one of your dress fur felt fedoras such as the pinched-front Vaughan or The Trilby, with its distinctive deeply creased crown.
Now off with you! There's some serious shopping to be done here.
