A man who likes to wear a smart flat cap needs a lighter version for summer to keep him cool—and here we have the Rolls-Royce of caps, the Camberley by Christys’ London, in smart Prince of Wales check made in a new linen blend that is ultra-cool. This cap will look just the thing as part of your essential summer kit for race days and sporting trips, summer shows and game fairs, holidays and weekend breaks. Perfect for town and country alike, a cap is so much easier to carry with you than a Panama hat!
You really cannot do better than a cap from Christys’. This, the world’s oldest milliner, was set up by Miller Christy in 1773 and has been making fine headgear ever since. Their new caps for summer are beautifully made by hand in Oxfordshire.
They are soft and comfortable to wear, cut to sit low and securely at the back, with a firm peak to shade the eyes and a petersham band to keep them in place. Fully lined, the hat has the new Christy’s London Ascot blue label inside.

To check your hat size, take a measuring tape and place it around the circumference of the head, slightly above the ears, with the tape held fairly closely to the head. Measure your head. If you don’t have a tape measure, use a piece of string or wool to measure around your head and then check the length using a ruler or other measure.
Equivalent sizes are: 21.7in is UK 6 3/4 (55cm); 22in is UK 6 7/8 (56cm); 22.4in is UK 7 (57cm); 22.8in is UK 7 1/8 (58cm); 23.2in is UK 7 1/4 (59cm); 23.6in is UK 7 3/8 (60cm); 24in is UK 7 1/2 (61cm); 24.4in is UK 7 5/8 (62cm).
More about Christys’ London: Since its founding in 1773, Miller Christy’s passion for impeccable quality and skilled craftsmanship has passed through generations of hatmakers, safeguarding Christys’ red and gold insignia as a symbol synonymous with fine traditionally crafted hats. Official helmet manufacturer of the UK Police Force for two centuries, Christys’ stands as the Godfather of British hatmaking – not least since its Homburg hat was worn by Marlon Brando’s Don Corleone. The cult of Christys’ is recognisable throughout cinema, fashion, music and politics, amassing an eclectic lineup of wearers from Sir Winston Churchill to Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. Christys’ was and is a brand with an eye on the future and, while methods have remained largely unchanged and heritage is paramount, it is the capacity to transcend trends and social borders that makes Christys’ hats as sought after as ever. And as a CountryClubuk Member we are delighted that you receive a preferential price for all caps and hats by Christys’ & Co, who have been the Club hatmaker for more than 23 years.
