THE FLAT CAP EDIT / THE DETAILS

Flat-cap styles

Start with the silhouette, then look a little closer at the fabric. A few details make all the difference.

KNOW YOUR CAP

Small details.
Different character.

01

The classic flat cap

A low, rounded crown that slopes towards a short, firm brim. Simple lines and an easy profile.

02

The newsboy cousin

A fuller, panelled crown, usually with a button on top. Often grouped with flat caps, but a distinct shape.

03

The fabric makes the mood

Tweed brings visible texture and pattern. Felt offers a smoother finish. Look for a fabric and weight that feel right for your day.
