How to Pick Your Perfect Flatcap

[@johnflynn4923]

Added flatcaps a couple of years ago to my baseball style caps, Fedora coming next. Your hat can define your style, mood and outlook and is one of the most under rated pieces of gentlemen's attire for creating the overall look and feel of an outfit.

I’m from Northern England...where the flatcap originated from. A very long time ago it used to be the law that you had to wear one outside the home and you’d be fined if you were caught not wearing one. It was all about boosting the wool industry.

My Dad’s family was English and he loved his classic English sports cars and Harris Tweed flat caps. On his last birthday I bought him a new cap for riding in his final car project. He looked handsome to the very end. That cap is the thing I keep to remember him by❤️

My first flat cap arrived in the mail today. I love it and look forward to wearing it outside.

[@Wild_Maryland]

The Hard Eye is my favorite. Great video!

[@princewiltshire5193]

Just started wearing this style, I love it because no one else is wearing them around my neck of the woods. Thanks for the video

These hats in the US where recently at a peak of popularity during the 80s and 90s. Known mostly by the brand Kangol. I own three myself that I purchased 15 years ago. I am anxious to try out these different brands

I’ve owned a Goorin Bros flat cap for 6 years. It’s seen many miles of cruising Anchorage Ak and Panama City Fl on my skateboard. I’ve worn it out fishing, in theaters and to my friends houses for board game nights. So much that one of their daughters is obsessed with it. Tonight I found the brim broken. The silver lining is that I’m actually in Las Vegas, which is the only city that I’ve been in that actually has a Goorin Bros shop.

[@r1273m]

My favourite flat cap is a Christies of London "RADNOR". I bought it in 1975 when visiting Edinburgh. It's falling apart now but I am loath to throw it out after all this time. I have other caps for occasions when I need to be better dressed!

[@itsmesteve1081]

I just tried on a cheap ivy hat at Wal-Mart and I really liked how it looked on me! I'd wanted to get a regular modern cap but it just didn't look right on me and it didn't feel like I was trying to be myself. but when I put on that ivy cap at Wal-Mart I was stunned at how good I felt about how I looked! I feel like I can respect myself more and I definitely want to start clothes shopping a little bit more! my wardrobe is way past it's expiration date lol... thanks for the vid! helped tons!

I live in lndia. I started losing my hair in early 20s. I used to worry a lot. I tried many things but finally l found a solution in flat caps.Now many years have gone by since l have been wearing these caps everyday. In winters l wear tweed caps & in summers l use cotton or corduroy ones.

Living in England, in the Yorkshire countryside, all of these are pretty much our native hats. Everyone outside Yorkshire calls us farmers if we're caught wearing one....pffft what do they know.

[@stenofusco2993]

In Italy all of these caps go by the name of "coppole" (singular "coppola"), from a Southern Italian word that literally means "head". It seems that this cap was first introduced to Italy by English people in the 19th or early 20th century but it soon became a staple of the typical Sicilian clothing style. Today it's not as common as it used to be, you usually see it sported by old people (not only in Sicily but in the whole country) but as of late flat caps are having a sort of revival here too. The Italian coppola usual comes in a plain flat pattern, sometimes featuring a snap brim, but some other patterns are slowly taking hold in the past few years.

[@earl77]

+Steno Fusco That's good to know, when I visit Europe, I'll wear a flat cap instead of a baseball cap so that I won't look like a tourist.

[@stenofusco2993]

+stan smith Good choice, flat caps are very traditional here and I personally think they're classy but still informal at the same time (differently from fedoras, for instance), so that you can wear one in different situations. Plus they come in a variety of patterns so you have plenty to choose from.

[@lokomaikai2182]

I am a 52 year old American woman from Boston. I have been wearing "Scally" caps, as we call them, since I was about 7 or 8. I love them so much! My mother hates them on me because she thinks they are too masculine. Phttttt! I couldn't care less. About a year ago I happened upon a lovely scally made in Ireland and it's my absolute favorite. I don't get to wear it much as I now live in Florida and it's too hot here to wear a wool cap. I would love to acquire a lightweight, summer friendly cap I could wear here!

[@DrAdd1999]

1st and 2nd to last are my favorites

[@nrcg2317]

I have a Flat Cap for a few years from Hanna Hats in Ireland.It is wool and has 3 seams in the back. My biggest question is why the button on the brim? What situation when i would unbutton and expand it?

[@paulk357]

Interesting video. I grew up in England, though it's been a few years. I remember this style. I usually wear baseball caps, but I like these. They are a little more mature and stylish. I put off getting one because I don't want to look like a hipster. But I am forty-eight now... think I can pull it off without irony.

[@paulk357]

@Danny M you are right. I actually picked up a really nice looking wool cap from Hanna Hats. It looks great.

[@ferguspuskas]

cool - presumably some hats suits some head / face shapes better than others?

[@willbaumbach7396]

Great vid, but went to the site and found very little of this kind of hat, and none of these models

[@od1452]

Thank you. Point of interest. The very light colors show the details better on camera.

I had a tagliatore and the size was a bit too wide; made me worry about the wind so I sew a felt filling inside. This way it's not super tight but I still notice it's there and kinda feel it even after I take if off. Does it means it's actually a bit tight? How should it fit? One finger gap easy? One finger hardly?

[@roccod1018]

Do I have to be pierced and tattooed to wear one?
