Description
Discover a special accessory in original Harris Tweed® with this baker boy cap: an excellent fit thanks to the well-shaped cut that sits nicely over the back of the head. These caps are distinguished by their high-quality craftsmanship, with the classic eight fabric panels meeting at the crown.
The baker boy cap was originally a workman's cap. In the early 20th century it was worn across all levels of society, including as part of sporting and leisure fashion, for example on the golf course. It later disappeared from fashion for a while.
Since the late 20th century, the baker boy cap has enjoyed a revival thanks to films and series set in historical periods. Today it's a sought-after retro accessory for men and women, blending tradition with style awareness.
Failsworth is one of Europe's most renowned hatmakers, standing for British craftsmanship and quality. The company has been making caps and hats in its Manchester, UK manufactory since 1903.
- 100% original Harris Tweed® cap - handwoven in Scotland, from the Outer Hebrides
- Design to match our Harris Tweed® jackets and waistcoats
- timeless classic
- high wearing comfort
- lined inside with recycled polyester, hard-wearing, lightweight and quick-drying
- unisex: suitable for all genders
- designed in the UK
- shown here paired with the Harley crew-neck Donegal jumper in the colour Lewis
What is so special about Harris Tweed®? Harris Tweed® changes its colour depending on the light conditions. The fabric consists of differently coloured fibres that are spun together before weaving.
The colours of genuine Harris Tweed® appear different depending on the light. This is why a solid-colour Harris Tweed® fabric can look very different.
Our House of Scotland tip: always view the original Harris Tweed® in daylight to best see its colouring.
