“There was a special costume of John’s I couldn’t get. I was searching on the internet trying to get that leather cap and suddenly it popped up in front of my eyes an ad saying John Lennon leather cap by Helen Anderson!
“OMG! I had been searching for this cap my whole life and now I found the original Lennon leather cap, designed by Helen Anderson a close friend of John since art school days! So I went straight to her website and ordered one for me.
“If you are a Beatle fan or John Lennon admirer you must have one because it’s not only an incredible leather cap to wear but is a unique collector's item that you must keep forever, as John did.”

Les mando tanto a ti como a Danielle un fuerte abrazo virtual esperando poder verlas en mi proximo viaje. La mejor gorrita del mundo que un beatlemanico no puede dejar de tener 🥰
I have received my beautiful, perfectly fitting, cap and I will wear it always. The packaging is wonderful too, and the service was top notch.
For a Beatles, Lennon and a hat man, I am very happy, and only sorry about that I didn't know of it sooner.
And, it is warm, so perfect for Icelandic winters.
"Love is knowing, we can be..."
First things first: ok, it's pricey. But the cap itself is a lovely thing, supple, soft, luxuriously comfortable. It really is something special.
But even better than that are Helen and her daughter, Danielle. In my case I got the sizes mixed up. Lo and behold, when the cap arrived, Helen had noticed the discrepancy, and made the necessary adjustment. And explained it all in a charming, handwritten note inside the box. You'll go some distance these days to get personal attention like that. I am very grateful to her.
Danielle is on hand (even at 33,000 feet) to keep you informed, and deal with queries, quickly and personably.
Cap arrived within a couple of days as promised. I can't fault that kind of quality and service. Brilliant.
I bought this hat for my daughter for her 17th birthday as she is a huge John Lennon fan! It was absolutely perfect!! Amazing quality and it looks amazing on her. The customer service was above and beyond from the moment I placed my order. I would recommend this shop to anyone and will definitely order from them again.
I just received my cap about fifteen minutes ago. When I saw the package at my door I was so excited. I immediately opened the box and from the packaging to the hat itself it is perfect. I love it so much and it fits me perfectly! I bought this as a birthday present to myself and from the communication to delivery it was such a smooth process. I cannot thank you enough for making this gift truly a treasure.
The Beatles and their wonderful music have been a part of my life from Love Me Do's release when I had just become a teenager. I have always wanted one of these caps and when I saw the advert at Strawberry Field on a visit to Liverpool last month, I could not resist.
Super quality packaging and the cap itself did not disappoint; beautifully made with such soft leather. My dream had come true.
Thank you, Helen, for the personal delivery; it was great to meet up with you in St Albans and chat about John and the origins of your design.
I absolutely love, love this hat!
I received my hat some weeks back, and I've been wearing it frequently. Friends have complemented how good it looks... and of course, it leads to stories to where I got it from.
I'm so glad I have this hat as part of my Beatle fashion collection.
I got the cap for my son’s 30th birthday and was not disappointed. He’s a Beatles fan and was thrilled with the hat especially made for John Lennon. The quality of the cap is first class. Helen
& Danielle went above and beyond to personalise this special gift and helped make it the perfect gift.
I saw either an ad or a link on Facebook for the Helen Anderson original John Lennon leather cap, and I was intrigued. I’ve been a Beatle fan since the mid-70s; they taught me how to play guitar, in a manner of speaking. What a tremendous keepsake this would be to go along with the Rickenbacker guitars, the deluxe CD remix sets, etc. It took about a month for me to receive my cap, and I was impressed. The fit was a bit stiff at first, but it’s gotten more comfortable as I’ve broken it in. It fits snugly on my head, and I’m pretty sure it won’t blow off in heavy winds (but I don’t want to tempt fate!). Congratulations to Helen and company for a fine product!
I have a Helen Anderson original John Lennon cap of my own, which I cherish, and I wanted to give my friend Scott McKinley, who is working on a HUGE Lennon project with me, an Anderson-made Lennon cap as well. We both cherish our hand-made, one-of-a-kind, custom caps exactly like the one John wore and loved. Helen was John's closest mate at Liverpool College of Art and his friend of his for life. Wearing a work of art that she created and that John adored makes me happy. Scott was so elated with his! Thank you to Helen for making each cap with love. They are a must-have for any Beatles fan!
I got this cap 5 years ago, I never did a review but I'm telling you the story of my cap now and how wonderful it's been for me.
There was a special costume of John I couldn't get until the year 2018 (November 2018). I was searching on internet as usual trying to get that "leather cap" and suddenly it popped up in front of my eyes an ad saying "John Lennon leather cap" by Helen Anderson!
OMG! I had been searching for this cap my whole life and now I found the original Lennon leather cap designed by Helen Anderson a close friend of John since art school days! So I went straight to her web site and ordered one for me.
I am completely grateful I have found her, and met her in 2019, she's so lovely, a perfectionist, fascinating person, generous and a Great artist!
If you are a Beatle fan, John Lennon admirer you must have one because is not only an incredible leather cap to wear made with the best products but is a unique collectors item that you must keep forever as John did.
I highly recommend it!
My best wishes,
Javier Parisi

Well Helen, and "Dan", remember, You Asked For It! Ha! First let me say that when John picked out a "Bird", he did it right well! He couldn't have had a more compassionate (and Gorgeous) Girl-Mate! It was funny to me when you (Lady H.) told me of Msr. Lennon always keeping you busy making him new caps to replace his 'Nicked' ones! I have no doubt at all, that if he were with us today, that he'd be underneath your latest replacement Cap, Lol! Allow me again to thank you for going the extra mile in replacing MY first ordered Cap, at no charge! Nonetheless, I trust that the one who 'Nicked' mine, will receive joy from their ill-gotten gain and that the Bridge they get thrown off of might not indeed be TOO high off the water! Ha! Well, the Lord bless, keep, and protect you all through this "Merry Krimble" season, and all the ones to come as you keep on "Thrutchin'" forward. Cheers, and a "Stiff Upper Lip". XOXOXOXOXO! BeaTle Geo. (The Other One) Lol! Oh, I was blessed, and privaleged to be called "Uncle Geo." by none other than my dearest now-departed friend, Gordon Calldwell, whom I shall always dearly miss! Gb
I bought the cap as an incentive for my 15-year old son who is learning the guitar and a great fan of John Lennon. He was absolutely delighted and the hat has been major hit among his fellow students. For my own part, I'm impressed by the design and workmanship involved; a real collectors item. I understand this was the first sale in Thailand but am sure that as my son's prowess on the guitar improves and his following increases, there will be more to follow!
