Lock's - The Hat Shop
There are exclusive shops in most of the world's great cities , but in few cities are the most exclusive quite like those of London . It would be almost true to say that the more exclusive a London shop , the less impressive it is from outside . Many of them , particularly those around St . James's - '' Club Land '' - in the West End , look more like well - preserved pawn - brokers ' establishments in dock area . One such is Lock's the Hatter's . From the street , the shop looks like a relic , slowly design from lack of custom . There is no bustle , no neon, and certainly there's never a queue ; yet it is to Lock's that the Duke of Windsor , the Duke of Edinburgh , the Duke of Norfolk , Sir Anthony Eden , and most of the names from Debrett come for their headgear .
Picture shows:- The shape is placed in a block - a device similar to the fitting device . When all the rods are moved and clamped to fit the shape , the block is put into a bowler , and the bowler is forced to the exact shape of the customer's head .

Picture shows:- First step is to find the customer a hat which is a good fit - though not a fit as perfect as the Lock's system assures . In an ordinary hat shop this customer would be allowed to buy this hat as it is - but not at Lock's .
