There’s nothing quite like an early season horse racing meet, as not only does it mark the start of the racing season with jumping events and a raucous atmosphere, but it’s of momentous importance with regard to all things sartorial and fine – and what could be finer than a Christys’ felt hat?
Since time immemorial, we’ve crafted felt hats proudly in England that would have been worn to every Cheltenham Festival since records began in 1840, and so it’s safe to say we’re well acquainted.
Across the collection for both ladies and gentleman, you’ll find an array of race ready felt hats – from bottle green fedoras accented with gorgeous feathers to a timeless navy trilby with brown banding – in both wool and fur felts that will provide the finishing touches to your outfit.
Everything we make is on a made-to-order basis expressly for you, using our time honored hat-making techniques within our own factory, only 35 miles from Cheltenham in Witney, Oxfordshire.
The good news is that there’s plenty of time to place your order and receive your hat. So, have a browse and think about what you’re going to wear this year. We’ll be looking out for you.
