Lateralling To London, Best Top Hat and Monocle Brands?

Hey guys, 2nd year analyst at a Tier Mount Olympus IBD shop (think MS/JPM/FTP/PJT) who went to a global hypertarget (think Yale/Tsinghua/Wharton/City College/Peking/Dartmouth) who is lateralling to London.

Now I don't really keep up with the news and most of what I know about life across the pond comes from movies and TV shows. To be a cultural fit, what brand of top hats and monocles do most London bankers wear?
