Mesh Flat Cap

Our mesh flat cap is knitted in an open weave you can see daylight through, shaped into a flat ivy cap with a short brim and a rear buckle strap. The size guide gives a head fit of 22 to 23.2 in (56 to 59 cm), a height of 4.7 in (12 cm) and about 6.7 in (17 cm) from front to back. It comes in navy, dark gray, black, white, brown and beige.

How the Mesh Knit Shapes the Flat Cap

Unlike woven cotton or tweed, the knit is made of open loops, so it gives slightly and lets heat escape through the crown. The short brim keeps its line, and the flat top sits close to the head instead of rising into the full eight-panel crown of a newsboy cap.

Mesh Flat Cap Colors and Outfits

White and beige look crisp with a linen suit or chinos; black and navy suit a dark tee and jeans; brown and dark gray have a vintage, workwear tone. To clean it, wash gently by hand and dry it with a rolled towel inside the crown. More caps for warm and cold days are in our newsboy caps.

Mesh Flat Cap FAQ

Is a mesh cap see-through?

The open knit lets light through, so up close you may glimpse hair; from a few steps away it reads as a textured fabric.

Is this a newsboy cap?

It is a flat cap. A true newsboy cap has eight panels and a button on top; this one has the smoother, flatter ivy shape.

Will it fit a small head?

The buckle tightens it to around 22 in (56 cm). Below that, it may sit loose.
