Flat Cap with Ear Flaps

A flat cap with ear flaps solves the one weakness of a classic cap in January: cold ears. Ours is an ivy-style cap in a charcoal houndstooth tweed-look fabric, a wool-blend, with fold-down flaps that tuck under the sides when you do not need them. The front snaps down to the brim, and the inner band and lining are black faux leather.

Ear Flap Flat Cap for Winter Commutes

At a windy bus stop or on a frosty dog walk, pull the flaps down; on a milder day it looks like any well-cut tweed cap. Charcoal goes with a navy peacoat, a camel overcoat or a waxed jacket, and the houndstooth gives it a gentle 1920s country feel.

Sizing the Earflap Flat Cap

Three sizes are offered: S for 22 to 22.4 in (56 to 57 cm), M for 22.8 to 23.2 in (58 to 59 cm) and L for 23.6 in (60 cm). Between two sizes, take the larger one. This Irish-style flat cap with ear flaps joins the winter styles in our newsboy caps. *Design inspired by traditional Irish caps; not made in Ireland.

Ear Flap Flat Cap FAQ

Where do the ear flaps go when folded?

Folded up, the flaps tuck under the sides of the cap, so the outline stays close to a classic flat cap.

Is it a good gift for an older man?

Yes. It is a practical winter present for a father or grandfather who already likes flat caps and wants warmer ears on morning walks.

How do I clean it?

Brush the tweed-look surface with a soft brush and wipe the faux leather band with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking, which can soften the brim.
