What’s good in the world if flat caps, where to buy from etc?
Loads available in 1925.
I have the classic kangol in black with the fold down ear flaps. Tweed is allowable so long as its not one of those 8 piece ones with each piece in a different tweed. If you have Australasian roots you can go for the baggy green or if you have dreads you can go for the baggy 8 piece
the classic kangol is the right one for us pasty NH types tho
A wise man once said “ A bunnet cannot choose the heid that it bunnets “
NO corduroy nor waxed cotton bunnets! wool or harris tweed only.
Six-panel duck-bill, in a wide variety of colours and materials. My choice is for plain black, but there’s a vast variety.
For low light conditions, I favour a flat cap in [url= https://www.dashingtweeds.co.uk/product/lumatwill-caps/ ]lumatwill tweed.[/url]
I think you should consider a fedora.
I think you should consider moving into the 21st century....
Get a beanie you madman!
Like CZ, I also favour the six panel duckbill.
Not a fan of the Peaky Blinder.
I prefer a Gatsby myself.
Never worn inside, and definitely not in a brewdog bar
This is how you rock a flat cap.
I have a lot of hats but for autumn and winter, the flat caps come out as they can be popped into your pocket when you are inside. I have two: a Harris tweed and a thinner fabric from Hoggs of Fife, I just pick up the first one that comes to hand. If it is really pissing down then I might use one of Australian hats or my trusty Tilley.

Ha ha brilliant.
Village hats have a great selection of flat caps from a large selection of suppliers.
Laird hatters, spendy but worth every penny imo
village hats +1
I recently bought a “traditional” Harris Tweed cap from the outdoor market in York. This is about as Yorkshire as you can possibly get.....until the stall holder (who is a big fan of Northern Soul) told me that they are all made in the last remaining flat cap factory in..... MANCHESTER! Still at least it isn’t from south of Nottingham 😉

What a load of twaddle.
Harris tweed is made on the Isle of Harris, if the tweed was made in Yorkshire then it’s going to be 100% Yorkshire made.
Moon in Guiseley make tweed, I’m sure you can get a cap made in God’s own county to make you feel better, you will have stick your hand in your pocket though. (Good luck with that) as do<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;"> Kempadoo Millar in Pudsey.</span>
Failsworth and Christie’s make nice caps, over 350 years of hat making expertise between them but alas made in Cheshire and Luton
Surely the 'made in Taiwan, labelled as Hebden TrouserCo' company sells this sort of stuff?
I think you should consider a fedora.
I would love to be able to carry off a fedora but I lack style.

Failsworth hats, in that there Failsworth. 🙂
I've got a few, ironically most were bought in Yorkshire. It's nice to help poorer, deprived areas, feels better than giving to charity.

wearing caps since before peaky blinders inspired the wannabe hipsters
Zippykona - great pic! Loved that show.
I used to think I might wear one when I was an old man*.
I am now in the 'Flat/Bunnet' age bracket and it's a resounding "Nae chance"

I picked up one at M&S. Authentic Yorkshire Tweed by Moon. Was under 40 years old at time of purchase! 6 panel.
Barbour Moon Tweed here. Traditional in nature. Goes perfectly with two spaniels, a wax jacket and Hunters....
My flat cap count is now 5, 3 Tweed, a grey herringbone and a black... Actually one of the Tweeds is also black. All from village Hats, some failsworth, some Brixton. Some thin, some thick and warm, one waterproof and breathable (porelle lined). When the top of your head has thin hair, coverage becomes important! They are all traditional design, look smart with smart and with casual and it seems the hipsters agree the days.
Seriously folically challenged here...
When I'm not wearing a beanie this time of year, my Fat Face flattie (6 panel duckbill) is serving its purpose nicely.
Outdoor Research Pub cap is a mighty thing complete with fold down soft shell ear warmers
Moon are a bit short at the back. Failsworth are better but Laird are my favourite. Supremely practical kit. How’s that beanie holding up in the rain?
