This hatter admits a madness for headgear but do not expect the wild side of confections favoured by Lady Gaga’s milliner Philip Treacy; the Anthony Peto range is more sober-smart with an edge than madcap. For a man about town who prefers a groovy cool to too cool for school.
Those who sport a pink topper will need to have a level of chutzpah to carry of the look but all of the classics are on display in an abundance of shades. Styles from the trilby and the porkpie, to the beret and the bowler, this is the place for a purchase which does not beg the question: “Where on earth did you get that hat?!” but rather provoke an admiring nod of approval.
This is your ultimate outlet brimful of millinery choices, with an element of quirk supplied by a brace of Biggles brown leather flying helmets. “These are bought by people who drive in roadster car with the roof down,” explains Peto. Or perhaps to go with the chic range of scarves also in store. So if you’re aiming to top off a Parisian purchase for that dashingly dapper boulevardier look then dash down now.
