Featured in The Finest Menswear In The World by Simon Crompton

London-based fashion writer, Simon Crompton, profiles fourteen companies that make the world’s finest men’s clothing, from head to toe. I am honored that my hats have been included, one might say – at the head of this elite group of custom clothiers.

Simon’s blog Permanent Style (https://www.permanentstyle.com) is the most popular men’s style blog in Europe and is listed by the New York Times as one of the world’s top ten men’s blogs.
