Flat Caps

Flat Caps made of Harris Tweed & Tweed – timeless British style

The flat cap – also known as a baker boy cap, newsboy cap or Peaky Blinders cap – is one of the most iconic British fashion accessories. Originally a workman's cap, it was worn across all levels of society in the early 20th century, including as part of sporting and leisure fashion. Since the late 20th century it has enjoyed a revival thanks to films and series set in historical periods, and is today a sought-after retro accessory – a blend of tradition and style awareness.

Why choose our tweed flat caps?

• mostly made of 100% genuine Harris Tweed®, handwoven in Scotland on the Outer Hebrides
• classic construction with eight fabric panels meeting at the crown
• high wearing comfort, usually with a soft inner lining
• unisex: suitable for all genders
• timeless design, matching our Harris Tweed® jackets and waistcoats
• from long-established British manufacturers such as Failsworth (Manchester, since 1903)

How do I find my cap size in cm?

The key steps in the video:

• measure your head circumference with a tape measure
• from the back over the forehead, following the shape of the cap
• the measured circumference in centimetres corresponds to your cap size
• our House of Scotland tip: for in-between sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size, as the caps don't stretch!

Tweed baseball caps

Alongside the classic flat cap, we also offer baseball caps made of tweed – the same premium material (wool outside, cotton inside), but in a sporty baseball cap shape with an adjustable velcro closure at the back.
