Heather Green Flat Cap

Look closely at this heather green flat cap and the green breaks into small flecks of lighter and darker fibers, the mixed effect that gives heather its name. The supplier lists a wool blend in a neat ivy shape, sized 57-59 cm and made for cold-weather wear. It is one of several fabrics in our newsboy caps.

Why a Flecked Green Flat Cap Is Easy to Wear

A solid green can look loud, but a heathered green softens toward brown and grey from a few steps away. That makes it simple to match: brown corduroy, a camel overcoat, a navy peacoat or an oatmeal sweater all work. It is the shade of a countryside weekend, a pub lunch after a long walk or a football match in November.

A Green Flat Cap in a 1920s Outfit

For a Roaring Twenties party, build a country gentleman look: a brown tweed-look vest, a white shirt with rolled sleeves, suspenders and dark brogues. Green and brown together feel right for the decade without looking like a costume, so you can keep wearing the cap long after the party.

Heather Green Flat Cap FAQ

What does heather mean on a cap?

It describes yarn mixed from fibers of slightly different shades, which gives a flecked rather than flat color. The supplier calls this one flecked green.

Will it fit my head?

It is sized 57-59 cm. Measure your head about a finger above the ears; if you sit at the top of the range, the cap will feel snug.

How should I clean it?

Brush off dust and dab small marks with a damp cloth. Do not soak a wool-blend cap, and let it dry over a rounded shape such as a bowl.
