A well deserved tip o' the hat for Lock and Co. 🎩
Why no one is commenting ? Let me fix that
Hats off to them for staying in business for so long.
😑
Ba dum pss
Hats on for the hats off
This really is journalism you can't get anywhere else, so glad you guys are back!
I mean in this case you have quite a few menswear youtube channels that cover stuff like this, like Tom Chamberlin and Kirby Allison.
Thank you for the love, we appreciate you! 🫶
On one hand it makes me sad that the videos you guys produce don't have the same reach they once did, but on the other hand I'm very happy that you still dedicate yourselves to telling interesting and inspiring stories we wouldn't have heard otherwise. I know I've mentioned this on previous videos, but we love you guys and we're absolutely elated you've returned. 🖤🤘🏽
A tip of the hat to this fantastic story!! So excited and happy GBS is back !!!!!! So greatful
A tip o' the hat to you 🎩
“The Conformator” is the most Victorian superhero name I’ve ever heard.
Right?!
I really want for hats to make a full comeback into modern day fashion, well, everyday fashion to be precise. Hats are just a lovely accessory that helps keep the sun out of your face and it can add so much to a plain outfit. Right now I wear caps and I have a wide brim felt hat that doesn't quite fit me, I'd love to own a fitted hat for my tiny head.
That was great! What a fun store. The mad hatter thing was awesome 😆
A great hat makes a style look complete
Absolutely 🎩
I don't envy the writer who had to pick the video name... so many amazing fact drops! "we fitted the queen", "we invented the bowler", "we use victorian tech even today", etc.! 🎩👍
There were lots of choices 😅
I’m definitely getting a hat here when I visit London. ❤
Yesss, do it! 😃
Still so happy GBS is back
Great video and great shop.
Hat's off to them for keeping the Hat's on
Always loved this shop. Love my linen flat cap from them
Such a good story!
Well, that was quite a bit of fun!
Interesting sidenote, Charley Chaplin wore Lock and Co. hats, his great grandkids are musicians called Lockenville 😄
Amazing video
Very cool episode
Man, if I ever visit London, this is the first place I'm going to. Always wanted a nice hat, it just feels cool
"Cap" is one of those words used by kids these days that makes me feel old.
Don't let it. It'll wax and wane, like "radical" and "on fleek". If it sticks around, it'll make its way into your vocabulary by osmosis, don't worry.
I was fitted for my Raiders of the Lost Ark fedora at Northwest Hat in Eugene, OR. His head shaping device was 3d printed and my fedora fits perfectly.
Cool stuff, as someone who's recently gotten into wearing Fedora, this is right up my alley :p
Now I want to get my own hat from them
They made odd job’s hats!!?!! That is so cool!!!
Very interesting
I used to see many people wear bowlers field hunting in the late 70’s.
They wore it with a special string attached to their jacket in case it got knocked off.
I just wore my helmet.
If I ever get asked to Buckingham Palace, I'm going here for my hat!
I would kill to get a hat here, super cool place.
Id love to visit these guys if i ever visit the UK, ive got such a big head I can't really buy hats off the shelf anywhere and it would be cool to get properly fitted
Now can they make me a burning team captain… but references aside, fantastic video
Nice
Locke and Co.! I got a bowler from them!
That's cool! Have you tried stepping on it yet?
Hats off to you sir 👏
Is that also where you got your stovepipe hat?
That is so cool!!
Long time no see..
That head measurer looks like a Saw trap...
"Sir, where can I find your unusual hats? I'll trade for 500 keys" -A certain type of gamer
These people are the modern journalists and documentary makers.
Wish there was a place like this in my neck of the woods in the US...I like vintage stuff and getting a nice hat...particularly an ACTUAL fedora and not a trilby (which everyone seems to call a fedora) means I have to look online and hope shipping doesn't mess it up since the only hat stores around me are LIDS....baseball caps for days but anything like a bowler, top hat, fedora or other similar classic hats are a lot harder to come by, baseball caps and cowboy hats are all easy to come by down south where I live. The others...not so much unless you go online so a custom fit like this is pretty much impossible...which is annoying as in the old west bowler hats were actually rather popular among cowboys up until the Stetson Boss of the Plains hat was made.
I love the female hat maker with the continental accent.
Ms. Golding has a unique American/British accent…
Yes, she does.I think that's because she's a non-native English speaker. I think that had a huge influence on her accent although she's spent most of her life in English speaking country.
@@sok94 I never would have guessed she’s not a native English speaker. I would have thought she was an American who moved to Briton.
I can clear this up, I am a native English speaker and I grew up in Hong Kong. I went to an international school there and people who go to international schools often have crazy amalgamated accents. I sound Scottish to some people 🤷🏻♀️
@@AwonGolding Hello,Awon. Im sorry for my misjudgment. I heard that you are the grand daughter of belated Rishang,honourable Sir.He was a friend of my grandpa. So I've perceived you as an Indian. Besides, your name sounds like a native Tangkhul name. Hence, I made the wrong judgment. Sorry and nice to speak to you. By the way I love the hats. They're classic. ❤
@@sok94no problem. I am indeed Tangkhul and that is my grandpa but I grew up in HK and would regularly visit India to see family. Sadly my language skills are limited and my Hindi and Tangkhul barely stretch to basic pleasantries. Anyway, thanks for watching the video! Hope you enjoyed ❤
I want a hat now
On the list. Get fitted. I'll either never wear it, or wear all the time
WE ARE SO BACK!!
Here's to hoping you'll have the same reach you had before!
1:30 well done sir on the man spreading! A true professional. There are only a few groups of men that can pull off this kinda of man spreading. He does it with authority..

And a tip o' the hat to you 🎩
GBS Nice

And a tip o' the hat to you 🎩
Back to you mate 🎩
For now on they didn't wear the bowler hat, but they wear it for UN & at some special events.
his wide spread sit at the camera eye is,
something.
Mad hatter’s Lock breathed
Mercurial Milliner
Conformities tipped
Woe
Is you?
@@JoshWitte you know it
I was wondering if they only did men's hats or not and then you showed the female half...eh. I like the more traditional men's side then the out there female side. Even if she is inspired by vintage...I guess I'd have to see the hats in person. I'm not really a hat person, I feel like I don't have the face for one...plus I have a huge head lol.
your editor messed up the color grade key select when the narrator was speaking in front of the shop. Look at the nose.
Are they also part of an underground agency which keeps tabs on what's happening around the globe ? 🤔
Love it but the background music is overpowering the voice of the interviewee
A shame the top hat maker has been lost forever.
Nick Cage is such an inferior star compared to the others 😂
das german has a better technique for spiraling you off into insanity
6:47 BEARDED LADY 😂 (MANNEQUIN)
IT’S GOT SOOOUUUUUL 😂
OH… I THOUGHT HE WAS THE EARL OF PARTYING, BRO 😅
