On one hand it makes me sad that the videos you guys produce don't have the same reach they once did, but on the other hand I'm very happy that you still dedicate yourselves to telling interesting and inspiring stories we wouldn't have heard otherwise. I know I've mentioned this on previous videos, but we love you guys and we're absolutely elated you've returned. 🖤🤘🏽

“The Conformator” is the most Victorian superhero name I’ve ever heard.

I really want for hats to make a full comeback into modern day fashion, well, everyday fashion to be precise. Hats are just a lovely accessory that helps keep the sun out of your face and it can add so much to a plain outfit. Right now I wear caps and I have a wide brim felt hat that doesn't quite fit me, I'd love to own a fitted hat for my tiny head.

I don't envy the writer who had to pick the video name... so many amazing fact drops! "we fitted the queen", "we invented the bowler", "we use victorian tech even today", etc.! 🎩👍

Always loved this shop. Love my linen flat cap from them

Interesting sidenote, Charley Chaplin wore Lock and Co. hats, his great grandkids are musicians called Lockenville 😄

Well, that was quite a bit of fun!

"Cap" is one of those words used by kids these days that makes me feel old.

I used to see many people wear bowlers field hunting in the late 70’s.
They wore it with a special string attached to their jacket in case it got knocked off.
I just wore my helmet.

Man, if I ever visit London, this is the first place I'm going to. Always wanted a nice hat, it just feels cool
