How should you wear a flat cap?

Now how should a flat cap be worn?  Flat caps are designed to be worn centrally on the head and not cocked to the side. A good fitting flat cap will mean the cap hugs the back of the head nicely and does not feel too loose elsewhere.  

If you do not already know your head measurement, take a soft tape measure, and place it around your head, 2cm above the ears and across the middle of the forehead. The number you get (whether it be in cm or inches) will be the size of the flat cap you require.   

If in doubt about what size flat cap to take in a certain style, just pick up the phone to speak with one of our hatters who will be able to advise. 

Heard the one about moulding your peak by leaving it overnight in a pint glass? Folklore. Flat cap peaks can easily be manipulated by hand to give a more rounded silhouette. But take care when rounding your peak as they can weaken over time and become less rigid.
