My paternal grandpa wore flat caps all the time. He had a small collection of them. After he passed in 2001 my brother, my sister and I each received one of his hats. I still have the hat and I’ll always keep it, and I’ll always miss my “grandpapá” A grey tweed cap. I have four now that I alternate. My absolute favorite style of hat.

I've got very sensitive ears and that's stopping me from wearing fedoras and flat caps many times in the winter. By the way, if anyone is still reading, if you get a cheap wool felt fedora, it's generally stiff enough to hold it's shape unless it's steamed, so you can easily crush it and put in your pocket or bag. There is also a special wool felt which is made specifically for crushing and rolling, so hats made out of that material won't have any deformations after crushing and rolling. Also highly water resistant. It's called "Litefelt".

I was unsure about them as well, but took the plunge and bought a couple anyway, and I wear them all the time now - not sure how they look, but they're so comfortable, I don't care anymore... I get compliments on the caps from time to time, so I guess it works, and I can't think of any guys I've ever seen wearing one that it looks bad on. Note that there are at least three different styles of "flat caps", and they're not all created equally: 1) The Ivy, Flat, or Driver cap - like the fellow in the video was mostly wearing. I've found this to be the most comfortable, and the best-looking to my eyes - I don't think I've ever seen anyone this style looks bad on, especially when worn with a sportcoat, suit, or other appropriate clothes. I own some dark-coloured wool tweed caps in this style that are great in fall and winter, and some off-white linen caps for hotter weather, and love them. 2) The Newsboy or Gatsby style - the softer, larger, 6- or 8-paneled style. To my eyes, this style tends to look more casual than an Ivy/Driver cap. I think these tend to look better on heavier-set guys with rounder faces, and it seems this style has also been worn more by women in recent years and might come off as a sort of feminine on the wrong guys, so it might be a bit tougher for some guys to pull this style off - maybe try one on in a hat store with a friend whose judgment you trust? (Those Peaky Blinders guys look sharp in them, but I don't think this style looks right on me and I don't feel comfortable in it, either.) 3) The "Pub cap" or "duckbill" - I take it this is a newer, cheaper version of the Ivy/Driver cap, made with smaller amounts of cheaper fabrics, comparable to the cheaper "fedora" (trilby) style hats with smaller brims and such that the younger kids were wearing recently, a "hipster" fashion I think, to go with skinny pants and ironic t-shirts? To me, these look visible smaller and 'stingier" than more traditional flat caps, will usually be really cheap compared to the "real" flat-cap styles, and I think they mostly look cheap and casual. I think this style rarely looks good on anyone much older than a teenager; I owned a couple cheap versions, but don't wear them very much; when I did wear them, it was with jeans and casual shirts, I guess they are maybe a step above a baseball-style cap, but I always felt kind of silly wearing these caps, and think they always looked a bit small for my head. I would recommend avoiding both pub caps and trilby hats, especially if you're aiming for an older look than cheap teen fashion, but of course your mileage may vary. Really, I don't think any grown man can go wrong with the traditional Ivy/Driver style flat-cap, when worn following the advice in the video (i.e., in cooler weather, wear wool caps colour-coordinated with sport coats and such - and, like the Ivy/Driver style cap, I really don't think any adult man can go wrong with a good tweed sport coat for chilly weather!)

Thank you for this very informative video! I own three, one in leather and the other two in a cotton blend, and they're all black. I do wear the lighter cotton one more often and even during the warmer months; It is more mature and classier looking than the baseball cap, which I wear when heading to the gym.

I generally agree with your point about avoiding denim and leather flat caps, but for one exception: the dark brown goatskin "Tremelo" cap from Lock & Co. The suede texture, dark color, and subtle contrast stitching around the 8 pieces works well with a huge variety of jacket weaves and colors. An outstanding cap and a great alternative to tweed!

I love flat caps. I used to wear one in high school. People thought i was weird at first but i owned it so much that people almost couldn’t recognize me without it. I need to get another one

If you want an extra bit of history, the original 8 piece caps of the late 19th early 20th century were made from of cuts or old recycled bits of fabric. It was very easy to get an old worn out pair of trousers and cut them into the 8 triangular shapes needed to make the cap, and as a result the different panels wouldn't always match up. In modern times people replicate this by using contrasting materials for the different panels. All the other materials used to build the cap would also be recycled fabrics available. The lining was often cotton that could have come from old world shirts and hessian fabric from sacks was put in-between the lining and the top of the cap to give it its shape. The brim of the caps were made stiff by inserting leather where as nowadays stiff card or plastic is used.

I'm a woman and I definitely learned my lesson when I was wearing my flat cap in the summer in my teens, that hat was my personality at that time so I've worn it every day no matter what season and the heat of the wool completely destroyed my hair, now I only wear it in the winter when it's really cold.

Got into wearing hats, especially berets during the military. Bought my first Flatcap in NY. Herringbone grey and it went great with my biker jacket.

I got my first flat cap in probably about the late 1990s. I always loved the style and still wear that first cap, but now I have at least a half dozen more. Recently I bought my first newsboy and just today added a second.

The ideal ‘flat cap’ is made by Lock’s in St James’s, London. The oldest hat shop in the world, I believe, being founded in 1676. They sell numerous styles, but the most iconic is the Gill cap. I’ve had a few of these.

Speaking from significant experience, I never wore any type of hat for the first 30+ years of my life because I had a full head of hair. Once my hair started thinning and I got my first sunburned scalp, I started to rethink my thoughts on hats. After buying my first really GOOD hat (a felt Stetson) I realized what I'd been missing my entire life! A good hat is stylish, keeps your head warm when it's cold, cool when it's hot, dry when it's raining and provides shade whenever there's too much sun. I drive a Mazda MX-5 now and frequently cruise with the top down wearing one of a dozen different hats to prevent sunburn and keep my head warm on cooler nights/days. Gentlemen, EMBRACE hats again! They're one of the few really individual and uniquely stylish expressions we men have left to us and you'll realize what you've been missing!

Oh I adore that classy look from that movie - 1920th style. Generally speaking anything from 1920 to 1960th is just pure class!

When you put together a look, you want to be conscious of how the eye flows from top to bottom. Every time you add another "color block", it chops up the look. especially if there's more than 4 colors going on. Fall patterns are great, but you have to apply them in perspective to the rest of the outfit. I love the newsboy cap, and it's funny how women took this originally male fashion item and have done wonders with it. I think it's because they concentrate on using it more with sleeker looks while not looking so formal. If you can find a uniquely designed jacket or sweater to go with the cap, it would really take your look to the next level. I would DEFINITELY put a look together with this cap and a waistcoat, solid colors or subtle patterned.

With regards to wearing flat caps in the summer, I've seen people wear them even then because of the material that they're made of. Kangol manufactures specific hats like this for the summer months called Ventair caps which has a lighter material.

Idd they're different. The newsboy cap has more distinctive brim then the flat (or Ivy) cap. It looks more like an in between of a baseball cap and an Ivy cap. Nowadays the Ivy cap is the most popular flatcap and is also called a newsboycap, which isn't completely right.

my son just purchased one from Ireland in the Irish Rose shop in Milton Delaware and it is so classy and cute - he looks so good in it!!!!

Hi! Thank you for the content. I really enjoy it. I just wanted to mention that, I'm from the Caribbean and, in the tropics, we have lots of different types of summer flat caps that are very elegant. There's even som straw flat caps. I recommend you look into that subject. A Cuban Wayabera shirt, combined with a straw flat cap, is a very dapper look for the summer.

Nice video. I dont wear hats very often i think when i start it will be a fedora. Your chukkas were awesome. Also the double breasted windowpane suit at the end was very sharp.

I actually have a flat cap made for summer it has meshing so my head can breathe I usually pair it with nice shorts or chinos and a t-shirt

What's the brand mate. I were a mantaray wax look Baker boy hat from debenhams only hat that sat right on my head . Every other Baker hat I try on jydt no plumpness if thats the word like u can touch it and fell my head if you get what I mean. So looking for a different type as debenhams no longer sell the wax one. Plus wouldnt mind one you described. I have tried on so many in retailer done look right

I have been wearing the flat cap on and off again sense I was a kid. I enjoy them more than any other hat I have second is my outback hats

My kiddo has a really light fabric 8 quarters cap that he LOVES in the summer. I wanted to get him a warmer one for the winter since it easily gets to -30 f here. Wasn't sure if I should get him tweed or wool, but I believe you answered that.

Great video. Very informative. I like the caps as they do not hit the ceiling of my car as I am driving. They also make a distinct fashion statement.

I've always worn a Fedora HAT in the winter. But problems with headrest interference in the car. SO , trying Flat CAPS this winter. Big problems with head colds around here with uncovered head for me in the cold weather.

This channel is truly amazing. Inspired me to get into vintage hats

My favorite headwear is an old denim six panel Newsboy that I have been wearing since 1978. It really looks better when I have a full beard so it's mainly a winter cap, because I shave in the summer.

Flat caps are everyday wear, easily slung in the washing machine and ready to wear in no time. I choose washable fabrics and dark plain colours, as they go with almost any coat or jacket. I like the look of the straw flat caps too, so I'm going to try one next summer.

I love these so much

Yo, I wear my flat cap sideways! Whatcha be lookin' at foo?

Same! I wear them a little bit tilted to the side looks sharp

Flat caps were part of the uniform for the butcher and deli sections in the grocery store I worked in. We ladies wore our flat caps backwards quite adorably lol. It held a low bun nicely, but sometimes had to be pinned in place.

just got me a tweed flatcap (for winter) + a white linen one (light one) for summer, love them both !

I used to wear one in the early 80's when I was a Skinhead, I didn't look good in a trilby. Had one given to me lately and hardly ever take it off now.

I have been wearing a flat cap for most of my adult life. They are awesome.

I remember having 2 flat salsas a child. I loved them.

Avoid loud colors? I'll wear a flat cap with the same tartan pattern as my kilt and YOU CAN'T STOP ME!! MWAHAHAHAHAAAA!

You can wear a flat or newsboy cap in the summer if it is a summer weight fabric.

I have a couple in linen, one khaki and one blue that I wear in the spring and summer.

I found my great-grandad’s flat cap on my mom’s side. We cleaned it and here I am wearing it. It was bought by him in the late 40s so it’s about 80 years old.

I’ve always called the Newsboy as being the 8-panel, floppy top and button hat style. The other non- button styles you were wearing are mostly the English Driving Cap. Dobbs and Donegal being my best hats. Woolrich also makes a good one for me.

My grandpa told me that when he was growing up in Brooklyn(30s-50s) only brimmed hats were acceptable for adults, while newsboy caps were worn by kids. I think that Americans were more fond of brimmed hats, probably because of the more intense sunlight in some areas.

That's my usual. 8 panel, chocolate suede leather. Mine's passed down from my Welsh great grandfather.

I recently received a newsboy-styled cap from my aunt. It was my grandfather’s who has been passed away for 20 years or so. I own a few besides this and am always on the hunt for more.

This channel is the most versatile as far subs. I guess there's poor dressers all over the world. Thank you guys.

I like the 8 piece myself..

Also my favorite cap! I think everyone looks better in a newspaper boy cap.

cabbie is my daily wear since 19s. i am 25y/o now and loving to wear it since it gives cozy and warmer than any other hat like baseball cap. written in Korea

Aren’t they also known as a sixpence? I own several of them myself, and love them especially around this time a year with cold autum winds. A comedian in my country said once that if condoms are 95% safe, a sixpence is 100% safe.... my wife agreed. All though I still love the hat together with my waxed barbour jacket & hunter boots:)

These gloves would be way too "loud" for me :D Although I'm more of the "less colorfull" type I do like a lot of your combinations, but these gloves are too much for me.

This site is awesome. Indeed took my style to another level. Thank you and kind Sir your dressing style is outstanding!

I have a couple of Hanna Hats and absolutely love them

The caps in the twenties and thirties were much larger

I have many flat caps. One of them breathes really well and I wear it during summer

Linen caps for outside work in summer. It's my bald head sun protection. My grandfather on back from Ireland used linen as it was produced there.

I'm surprised nobody has called you out on saying that the terms flat cap and newsboy cap and for the same cap at the beginning (you did show the difference later on - I think the matter gets confused further by things like six-panel caps).On the matter of summer - linen flat caps are very comfortable and effective in the summer - I never go without them.For those not into tweed, loden makes a really nice alternative. :)

zoukatron. I really must try a loden flat cap now I've read that, never thought of looking for one before! I think I'd prefer the felt-like feel of loden to tweed when it comes to a hat.

@zoukatron

Sometimes loden caps get hidden. I bought one from Lock & Co. a little while ago - it was advertised on the website as being made of tweed (primarily because most of the other materials for that model were tweed) so I was quite delighted to find out it was actually loden. I know Laird (also of London) also do a loden model (edit: they call it loden, it is actually a flannel).

Thanks zoukatron, I'll check them out! I have a loden overcoat which I absolutely love, it's virtually waterproof, incredibly warm (so warm I can only wear it on the coldest Winter days) and rather thin, despite being fairly heavy. I can't stand a bulky, inflexible coat so I was chuffed to find that one! Would be rather nice to have a 'matching' flat cap in the same material, I think.

Sorry but isn't the newsboy cap typicaly the one in several pieces as the one worn in peaky blinders, and the flat cap is the one you are wearing in the video? At least from what I've seen and read, it is two different things.

I got one of those from my dad, to this day it is my favorite hat of all time

I just bought a top hat and I love it! It's a black more formal one; next one is going to be a chocolate brown more casual so I van wear it everywhere
