Mmmm - I had a look at this, and the answers, and am still puzzled!
Why is RED comb?
Why is overseas bowler CHRISTY? Isn't the skiing term "Christie"?

ChrisE, Red = comb is in Chambers (a variation of Redd)

Christy (or Christie) , a bowler hat, is also in Chambers.

thanks malone. never heard of redd! wiktionary has it as scots or northern english.

THanks, ChrisE. Chambers says the word is 'chiefly' Scottish, and means to put in order, tidy out, comb etc. I used to hear it when I was young, my grannie was always going to red/redd the back room!

I did wonder what “overseas” was doing in 1d, but Chambers seems to indicate that the Christy bowler is Canadian (Can), despite the origin being the English hat maker Christys’ (still around today, apostrophe after the s)

I suspect this may be an error in Chambers, given that Christys' produces hats of various types. It would appear that in Canada a bowler hat was called a 'Christy stiff'. Perhaps this was shortened to 'Christy', but I can't find any supporting evidence.

The bowler was supposedly invented by Lock & Co, so a 'Locky' would seem more appropriate.
