Black 100% Wool Flat Cap Classic Grandad Style Five Panel
Couldn't load pickup availability
The grandad flat cap is the original British working man's hat. It predates the baseball cap by over a century and the newsboy cap by several decades. This version stays faithful to that history with a five-panel construction in 100% wool and a low-profile shape that sits close to the skull rather than billowing upward like a newsboy or baker boy.
Black wool is the most formal flat cap colour. It pairs with overcoats, dark suits, funeral attire, and evening outfits where a hat is appropriate but a fedora or trilby would be too dramatic. The wool provides genuine warmth during cold months, and the satin lining inside creates a smooth contact against the forehead and crown that prevents the wool from itching against the skin.

Sizing Down to X-Small
Most flat caps start at Small (55-56cm). This one goes down to X-Small, which makes it one of the few in the range suitable for smaller head sizes below 55cm. If you have found other flat caps too loose even in the smallest available size, the X-Small option here is worth trying. Measure around your head just above the ears with a flexible tape to confirm your circumference.
The Grandad Flat Cap vs the Newsboy Cap
The grandad flat cap has a flat, close-fitting profile with no extra volume at the crown. The newsboy cap has a fuller, rounded crown with more fabric at the top. The grandad version is sleeker and more formal. The newsboy is more casual and carries more visual weight. If you want the hat to disappear into the outfit, choose the flat cap. If you want it to be a feature, choose a newsboy.
