Black Waxed Cotton Flat Cap Waterproof Outdoor Adjustable Fit
Couldn't load pickup availability
Black waxed cotton on a flat cap creates the most practical piece of wet-weather headwear in the collection. The waterproof finish repels rain completely rather than merely resisting it, and the black colour hides water marks, dirt, and wear in a way that lighter colours cannot. For men who walk, work, or commute in the rain regularly, this is the flat cap that performs rather than just looks good.
The adjustable interior means one size fits all head circumferences without the need to choose between S/M and L/XL. The waxed cotton will develop a softer hand feel and slightly lighter wear marks over time, particularly along the peak edge where handling is most frequent. That ageing process is part of the material's appeal rather than a sign of deterioration.

Black vs Olive Waxed
Black waxed cotton is more urban and more formal than olive. It pairs with city coats, dark jackets, and monochrome outfits. Olive waxed cotton is more rural, more casual, and more closely tied to countryside clothing. If your daily wardrobe is dark and urban, choose black. If it is earth-toned and outdoor-oriented, choose olive. Both are the same price and the same construction.
Reproofing
When the waterproof finish begins to wear (you will notice water being absorbed rather than beading), apply wax reproofing compound with a cloth and let the cap dry overnight. This restores full waterproofing and slightly darkens the surface. The cap can be reproofed indefinitely, which means its functional lifespan is limited only by the stitching rather than the fabric.
