Leather Ivy Cap

A Leather Ivy Cap is the flat cap's neater cousin: the crown slopes forward into a short brim so the profile looks like a duck's bill, and ours does it in smooth, slightly grained cowhide leather with a gentle gloss. It sits in our leather flat caps range beside the classic panel caps.

Inside and Out: How Our Ivy Cap Is Finished

Raised stitched seams run front to back along each side of the paneled crown, and a small metal eyelet on each side lets the head breathe. The short brim is stitched to hold its shape. Inside is a black lining with a ribbed sweatband where the cap meets your forehead.

Picking a Shade for Your Leather Ivy Cap

Black and burgundy are easy to tell apart; the two browns are closer. Two-Tone Brown is a medium-dark brown with lighter highlights where light catches the seams, while Dark Brown is deeper with a reddish cast; compare both in the photos. We wear the browns with tweed and corduroy, burgundy with navy or grey wool-blend coats, and black with anything. The coat and scarf in our photos are not included.

Leather Ivy Cap FAQ

What sets an ivy cap apart from a newsboy cap?

An ivy cap is flat and sleek, its crown sewn down toward the brim. A newsboy cap has a fuller, rounder crown of wedge panels, usually with a button on top.

Does the size range include smaller heads?

Yes. Sizes run from M, about 20.9-21.3 in (53-54 cm), up to 3XL, about 24-24.4 in (61-62 cm), so it suits many women as well as men. Measure and check our size guide.

Can the cap get wet?

A light drizzle is manageable if you wipe it dry straight away. Avoid soaking it, and never dry leather on a radiator.
