The Courage to Wear Hats
This winter I decided to take the plunge and visited Bates in Jermyn street, with there help I chose an Old Burlington in navy and have enjoyed wearing it very much through this winter and fancy a black Homburg next time.
Sad to hear though that they have had to move from there shop due to redevelopment of the building. Another lovely old style of shop lost forever a few pictures below. The story of the cat is that one day it wandered in and became the shop cat and was loved by all. Upon its death of old age the chaps at Bates decided that he deserved a place in the shop !
