Failsworth – makers of quality hats, inspired by British design and heritage.
Originating in 1903 in Manchester, this popular brand initially specialised in fur felt hats, and even found time to contribute to the war effort in the 1940s by producing flying helmets for the RAF.
Since then, they have branched out into fabric hats and much more. Today they are focused on innovation, introducing the next generation of fabrics, styles and technologies. Their talented designers study the catwalks of Paris, Rome and Milan, meaning that Failsworth are always ahead of the curve.
Behind every Failsworth hat is a tradition of quality and expert craftsmanship. They travel the world, learning from other cultures’ expertise to track down the best possible manufacturing techniques for each style of hat. Sourcing only the best materials from as far afield as China, Failsworth are proud to choose eco-friendly options whenever possible.
Perhaps that’s why today it is one of the most popular suppliers of headwear in Europe, selling over three million hats per year.
Quintessentially British, this brand is famed for its classic collection of hats. From tweed flat caps to stylish fedoras, this brand perfectly marries tradition with modernity. Explore their collection below.
