Finch-Hatton Out of Africa Hat

John Rigby and Co

£149.99

Finch-Hatton was a man of legend, a figure who embodied the untamed spirit of 1920s Kenya. As part of the infamous “Happy Valley Set,” his life was one of adventure, charm, and a touch of scandal—equal parts hedonist and hunter. This hat is a homage to this larger-than-life figure. It’s more than a hat; it’s a statement for those who dare to live boldly, defy convention, and embrace the romance of the wild. Crafted with timeless style and rugged practicality, it’s made for those who walk their own path, capturing the spirit of Finch-Hatton himself. To those who wear it, may you find adventure,

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as JOHN RIGBY & CO. (GUNMAKERS) LTD, number 08493364. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
