The Locksley • Woodland Archer & Pixie Hat • Custom Order

“A wizard is never late — he simply arrives when the hat is right.”

The Locksley is the brimless counterpart to our beloved Mysterium Hat — the same pointed crown, the same copper‑wire magic, the same mischievous spirit… just distilled into a sleeker, more agile silhouette. It’s also the design that started everything.

The Locksley was born on a night when I needed to break pace and make something different — something that reminded me why I create in the first place. I decided it was time ACD had a Robin Hood–style cap, so I drafted a simple pattern and got to work. The first version came out too large, but instead of scrapping it, I heard my father’s voice in the back of my mind: work with your mistakes, don’t fight them.
So I leaned in. I shaped the leather, coaxing curls, folds, pleats, bends, and twists until the “mistake” became the magic. What emerged was a pointed cap with character, attitude, and a life of its own — and so it earned its name: The Locksley, a nod to its origins and the spirit that shaped it.

Made from real leather and built around a flexible copper wire core, the Locksley invites you to sculpt it however you like. Curl the tip, twist the crown, give it a sly bend or a dramatic sweep — the hat responds to your hands like something alive. Many pieces are finished with a vintage pin or concho, adding a touch of storybook charm and personal lore.

Without a brim, the Locksley layers effortlessly with cloaks, hoods, dramatic collars, and armor. It’s lightweight, expressive, and endlessly wearable — a favorite among fair‑goers, cosplayers, and fantasy wanderers who want a hat that feels iconic without being loud.

Perfect for Renaissance fairs, LARP, steampunk gatherings, fantasy events, or theatrical cosplay, the Locksley brings a spark of magick to any outfit. Whether paired with medieval garb or modern mysticwear, it radiates creativity, confidence, and quiet power.

🌿 Design Inspiration

The Locksley is the ancestor of the Mysterium — a Robin Hood–inspired pointed cap that grew into something far more whimsical and wild. Its playful pixie energy, forest‑archer charm, and subtle sorcerer’s presence made it the perfect foundation for our brimmed evolution. The Mysterium may be the showstopper, but the Locksley is the soul.
