Blue Flat Cap

This blue flat cap comes in a soft light blue cotton twill, a shade that feels made for spring and summer rather than the browns and grays most caps come in. It has a smooth, flat top and a short brim, and it is sold in real head sizes, from 57 to 63 cm.

Light Blue Flat Cap Outfits for Warm Months

Light blue goes well with white, navy, beige and gray. Try it with a white shirt and chinos for a weekend lunch, a navy blazer for a spring wedding, or a striped polo at an outdoor fair. It also lifts an all-gray or all-navy outfit that would otherwise look flat.

Why Cotton Twill Suits a Summer Flat Cap

Twill is a tightly woven cotton with fine diagonal lines, lighter than the tweeds often used for winter caps. It keeps a crisp shape on the head and looks clean in pale colors. The supplier does not give washing instructions, so spot clean small marks with a damp cloth rather than putting the cap in the machine. Darker colors and fuller shapes are in our newsboy caps.

Blue Flat Cap FAQ

Where does the flat cap originate from?

Flat caps became common across Britain and Europe from the nineteenth century, worn by working men and country gentlemen alike, and spread to America in the early twentieth century.

How should a flat cap fit?

Snug but not tight, sitting just above the ears. Measure your head and choose the matching size.

Is this a newsboy cap?

Not quite. It has a flat, single-panel top; newsboy caps have a rounder, paneled crown.
