Men's Caps
The History of the Flat Cap
Flat caps first originated in Northern England during the 16th Century and were at one time a renowned symbol of the working-class Brit. By the early 20th Century, flat caps had ballooned in popularity for all classes, and they became integrated into much of British life from outdoor activities such as fishing and shooting to children’s school uniforms. Today, they are commonly associated with the British countryside.
