British hats and classic menswear behind the Der Aa church

Flat caps, trilbies, panamas: The English Hatter deals in the kind of stock that has almost vanished from Dutch high streets. It sits on the Akerkhof, the small square behind the Der Aa church, alongside British menswear built to match.

It's a specialist shop in the old sense. The range is narrow and the advice is the reason to walk in. Le Creuset and Marie-Stella-Maris landed on the same square within months, a sign of where the city centre's pull is shifting.
