The Poe & Co. family name can connect its lineage right back to the shores of America in the late 1600's having arrived from Great Britain and Europe. In its bloodline lay a mysterious and famous cousin. Edgar Allan Poe, the 19th century writer and Master of the Macabre, was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1809 and orphaned at the age of two. His dark and sinister stories continue to send chills down the spines of readers. One of his most famous dark poems, "The Raven" was published in 1845. The Poe Raven, nicknamed "Felix" after Felix Eugene Poe (1925-2009) WWII Veteran and Grandfather of Poe & Co. Limited founder, Christopher Poe, now rests comfortably perched on flat capping heads across North America.

Poe & Company Limited has delivered more than 1200 solely British Wool Flat Caps from England, Scotland and Ireland back into the U.S. Market as they proudly arrived at the turn of the century. Origin and traditional manufacturing are the staple of the business and we continue to expand our line to bring only the very best in authenticity to customers across the United States. Flat Caps remain a primary focus in the business as Poe & Co. expands to offer more traditional products such as 100% British Wool Blankets and Rugs which helps support their focus on renewable fabrics and wool industry farmers across the lush green countryside of Great Britain.

Looking back on a turbulent 2020 marked by the emergence of COVID-19, Poe & Company Limited® turned crisis into opportunity. More than 15 scheduled tradeshows over the year were cancelled in an effort to keep "Felix the Raven" caged. With the support of valued Flat Capping customers, he flew to new heights. In February 2021, the U.S. Patents and Trademark Office approved the Felix the Raven "O" as a protected brand. By April, Poe & Co. launched America's very first line of licensed U.S. Military Liberty Collection Flat Caps complete with the U.S. Army® and U.S. Navy® Logos and the U.S. Air Force® and U.S. Marine Corps® Flat Caps not far behind.
