Frequently Asked Questions
Are flat caps still in style in the UK?
Yes, flat caps are widely worn across the UK and have seen a fresh rise in popularity. Choose a clean, well-fitting style in tweed, cotton or waxed cotton and pair it with simple layers for a modern look.
Who do men’s flat caps suit, any tips for face shape and age?
Flat caps suit most face shapes because of their low, streamlined profile. If you have a narrow or angular face, avoid oversized crowns; if you have a rounder face, pick a slightly longer, slimmer brim to add balance. The style works at any age when the outfit stays simple and well-fitted.
What’s the difference between a flat cap and a newsboy cap?
A flat cap has a sleek, single-piece (ivy) crown with a slimmer profile. A newsboy cap is fuller with multiple panels (often eight) and a top button, giving a rounder look. Choose flat caps for a minimal profile, newsboy for more volume.
Are tweed flat caps only for autumn and winter?
Tweed flat caps are perfect for cooler months, but lighter tweeds still work in spring. For summer, switch to cotton, linen or mesh-lined designs for breathability.
How should a flat cap fit?
It should sit comfortably just above the eyebrows and ears, snug but not tight. If it pushes up or shifts when you walk, size up; if it leaves a mark on your forehead, size down. Many styles offer a little give to break-in naturally.
How do I style a flat cap without looking “costume”?
Keep the clothes simple: well-fitting jeans or chinos, knitwear or an oxford shirt, and a pea coat, waxed jacket or mac. Think neutral colours and clean lines; let the cap be the finishing touch, not the theme.
Are tweed flat caps weatherproof?
Naturally, tweed resists light rain and wind, but it isn’t fully waterproof. For wet weather, pick waxed cotton or add a fabric protector. Always air-dry, no radiators or tumble dryers.
Can I wear a flat cap in summer?
Yes, choose cotton, linen or mixed weaves with lighter linings. Some styles use perforations or mesh to improve airflow for hot days and travel.
What outfits work best with tweed flat caps?
Earth tones and textures pair beautifully: cable knits, brushed cotton shirts, wool coats, and leather boots. For the city, a navy coat and dark denim keep the look modern.
Do you offer men’s flat caps in larger sizes?
Yes, we stock a wide range of sizes across brands and materials, including larger head sizes. Use the size guide on each product page or contact us for tailored advice.
