At The English Hatter we have been (very stubbornly) holding on to the traditions of the English Country Style for 90 years. We sometimes get the well-meaning advice to 'move with the times'. But after 90 years we gradually know: there is always room for tradition. And with tradition as a basis, everyone can create their own style.

In this timeline we tell the story of The English Hatter through the moments, people, and products that have shaped the brand. From the roots of English Country Style—and our belief in contemporary slow fashion—to 1930s Amsterdam, when everyone wore a hat, and the Amsterdam of the sixties, when almost no one did. From collaborations with iconic brands to the development of our own collection.

And from that single shop on the Heiligeweg to the eleven stores across the Netherlands where you can still count on personal attention, slow fashion, and quality.
