Men’s Cotton Newsboy Cap – Classic Herringbone Gatsby Hat

The flat cap is a sartorial staple with heritage at its core. With roots in 14th-century Britain, it has evolved from rural practicality to refined urban style — worn by gentlemen, artisans, and style connoisseurs alike.

Defined by its gently rounded crown and short, stiff peak, the flat cap balances elegance and ease. Whether paired with a tailored coat or casual knitwear, it lends an air of quiet sophistication to any look.

It is not merely a hat — it is a statement of understated distinction.

A flat cap should sit comfortably — close to the head without constriction.
Follow these timeless guidelines:

Measure your head circumference just above the ears and across the mid-forehead.

Our caps are offered in precise sizing (e.g., 57 cm / 7⅛ UK). When in doubt, size up slightly for comfort and allow natural shaping over time.

The peak should rest just above the brow, creating a clean silhouette without overshadowing the face.

A well-fitting cap frames the face and becomes almost imperceptible in wear — the mark of a piece truly made for you.

Each material carries its own character and function. We offer a curated range for every climate and occasion:

Wool Tweed: The quintessential choice. Hardy yet refined — ideal for cooler months and British drizzle.

Cotton & Linen: Lightweight, breathable, and crisp — perfect for spring through summer.

Cashmere Blends: Soft and luxurious, suited for refined winter layering.

Waxed Cotton: Water-resistant and rugged — the choice of country gentlemen and city explorers alike.

Every fabric is selected not only for appearance, but for feel, drape, and longevity.

Versatile by nature, the flat cap transitions effortlessly between formal and casual settings. Consider these timeless pairings:

Weekend Ease: Combine with a roll-neck sweater and overcoat for classic autumnal charm.

Modern Heritage: Pair with a tailored blazer and Chelsea boots — tradition reimagined.

Country Escape: Worn with waxed jackets and field trousers for windswept weekends.

Let the cap express your sensibility — subtle yet assured, elegant but unforced.

A well-crafted cap, when cared for, can last decades. Treat it as you would any fine garment:

Brushing: Use a soft-bristle brush to remove dust and maintain texture.

Storage: Keep on a flat surface or hat stand to preserve shape. Avoid crushing.

Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth. For deeper care, we recommend professional dry cleaning — especially for wool or blended fabrics.

Weather note: While wool and waxed cotton tolerate light moisture, avoid prolonged exposure to rain. Always air-dry naturally — never near direct heat.

Crafted with care, worn with confidence, your cap will grow finer with time — a companion through seasons and stories.
