Olive Waxed Cotton Flat Cap Waterproof Outdoor Adjustable
Couldn't load pickup availability
A waxed cotton flat cap does what wool cannot: it keeps rain out completely. The waxed finish creates a waterproof barrier across the entire cap surface, which means drizzle, showers, and persistent light rain run off the peak and panels rather than soaking into the fabric. For a country where it rains on average 156 days per year, that is a practical advantage that no amount of wool warmth can replicate.
The olive colour matches the traditional waxed cotton palette shared by Barbour jackets, wax shooting vests, and country outerwear. The adjustable fit means one size covers all head circumferences, and the waxed cotton ages beautifully over time, developing lighter wear marks and a softer texture that makes the cap look better after a year of use than it did on the day it arrived.

Waxed Cotton Maintenance
Wipe with a damp cloth to clean. When the waterproof finish begins to fade (water stops beading and starts absorbing), apply a wax reproofing compound with a soft cloth and let it dry overnight. The cap will darken slightly with each reproofing, which adds to its character. Do not machine wash, as this strips the wax coating permanently.
Why Waxed Cotton at This Price
At £19.99, this is the most affordable flat cap in the collection. The waxed cotton keeps the material cost lower than wool or Harris Tweed while providing waterproofing that neither of those materials can match. For men who need a rain-proof flat cap at a practical price point, this is the entry worth considering.
