A collection full of history and craftsmanship
Since 1935, The English Hatter has welcomed visitors to its monumental building on the Heiligeweg in Amsterdam. The parquet floor, mahogany counters and carefully stacked shirts exude the atmosphere of a British “gentlemen's outfitter”, where quality is paramount. Even before the war, we imported Borsalino hats from Italy and handmade caps from England; later, the range was expanded with Lacoste polo shirts, Barbour jackets and William Lockie pullovers, all selected for their timeless look and quality materials. The philosophy has remained unchanged for almost a century: classic men's fashion should be as functional as it is stylish, so that each item can last for years without going out of fashion.
A collection from head to toe
In this collection we gather all the classic heritage in one overview. At the entrance of our digital showcase you will find neatly cut tweed jackets with subtle and merino wool pullovers that keep their shape even after many washes. In addition, we have lightweight linen shirts for summer days and quilted wax jackets that can withstand Dutch autumn weather. For accessories, choose from John Hanly scarves in tartan and Burlington socks with argyle pattern, while a classic Stetson flat cap or a Barbour bucket hat complete the look.
The power of classic menswear lies in the details. Think of hand-stitched seams on a cashmere slipover, leather loops on Albert Thurston braces or the signature metal clip on Burlington socks. Small details like these ensure that clothing not only looks good, but is also comfortable to wear. By working with studios in Scotland, Spain and Italy, The English Hatter stays close to the source and can guarantee quality.
