British waxed cotton on a baseball cap puts countryside durability into a shape that works in the city. The black colourway keeps things clean and urban, while the waxed surface does what waxed cotton has done for over a century in British manufacturing: it repels water. Light rain rolls off the peak and panels rather than soaking through, which makes this a practical daily cap for anyone who lives in a climate where drizzle is the default forecast.
The UPF 40+ sun protection is woven into the fabric rather than sprayed on, so it will not wash out or wear off over time. Traditional side eyelets provide ventilation during warmer months, and the adjustable Velcro strap at the back means the cap fits head circumferences from 55cm to 62cm without needing to choose between fixed sizes.

Who This Cap Is For
Dog walkers, commuters, weekend gardeners, and anyone who wants a cap they can wear in light rain without worrying about it. The waxed cotton finish means you can brush off water droplets after a shower and carry on. For heavier rain, a full waterproof hat is a better option, but for the unpredictable British drizzle that accounts for most rainy days, this cap handles it comfortably.
Care
Wipe with a damp cloth to clean. Do not machine wash, as this will strip the wax coating. If the water resistance fades after extended use, re-wax with a cotton reproofing compound available from most outdoor retailers. The wax finish will darken slightly with age, which adds character to the cap rather than diminishing it.
