Flat Caps
Shop classic flat caps in a range of fabrics and profiles — from traditional tweed and wool styles to lighter cotton options. A flat cap adds a smart, understated finish that works with casual outfits just as well as sharper looks.
Flat Caps – Timeless Style, Everyday Wear
The flat cap is one of the most recognisable cap styles in the world — a low-profile, structured cap with a short brim that suits a wide range of ages and wardrobes. Whether you prefer classic heritage looks or a modern streamlined shape, flat caps are an easy way to add character without looking overdressed.
In this collection you’ll find:
-
Tweed & wool flat caps for cooler months and a more traditional finish
-
Cotton and lighter fabrics for warmer weather and easy everyday wear
-
Different crown shapes (including fuller “newsboy” styles where applicable)
-
Sizing options ranging from adjustable fits to specific measured sizes (depending on the cap)
Flat Cap vs Newsboy Cap – What’s the Difference?
People often use these terms interchangeably, but there’s a practical difference:
-
A flat cap typically has a flatter, more streamlined crown
-
A newsboy (or baker boy) cap usually has a fuller crown with more volume
Both can look great — it just depends whether you want a sharper profile (flat cap) or a more relaxed, vintage-inspired silhouette (newsboy).
How to Choose the Right Flat Cap
A few quick rules that actually help:
-
Face shape: slightly fuller crowns can balance longer faces; cleaner, flatter profiles can suit rounder faces
-
Fabric: wool/tweed for warmth and structure, cotton for breathability
-
Colour: neutrals (charcoal, navy, brown) are easiest to wear; patterned checks add personality without being loud
-
Fit: a cap should sit comfortably, not pinch, and not wobble when you turn your head
Caring for Your Flat Cap
To keep the shape looking sharp:
-
Store in a dry, ventilated space (not squashed under other items)
-
Use a soft clothes brush for dust and lint
-
If the fabric gets damp, let it air-dry naturally away from direct heat
