Stetson flat caps for men
A flat cap brings a different shape to everyday headwear, with a short peak and a crown that sits forward over it. Our selection centres on Stetson Hatteras caps, offering the same recognisable shape across different fabrics, colours and finishes. Start with the material and size, then choose a colour that works with the jackets and knitwear you already wear.
The Stetson Hatteras shape
Hatteras caps have an eight-panel crown with a button at the top, giving them a fuller outline associated with newsboy and baker boy styles. This differs from the smoother, lower profile of some traditional flat caps.
If you’re choosing your first flat cap, compare the side-view photographs as well as the colour. The height and fullness of the crown can make as much difference to the appearance as the fabric.
Wool, corduroy and linen flat caps
Explore wool and wool/cashmere-blend caps alongside corduroy and linen options. Wool styles are worth considering for cooler days, while linen offers an alternative for warmer weather. Check the individual composition and lining details when comparing designs.
Herringbone adds a repeating woven pattern, while corduroy provides a more pronounced ribbed texture. A plain finish keeps the focus on the shape and colour. These details offer different ways to pair a cap with denim, wool coats or casual outerwear.
Black, navy and earthy colours
Black, navy and grey flat caps are easy starting points if you want one cap to wear with several outfits. Brown, moss and beige complement olive jackets, blue denim and neutral knitwear, while brighter blue offers another option.
You don’t need to match the cap exactly to your jacket. Choose colours that sit comfortably together, and consider a plain cap when the rest of your outfit already includes checks or other patterns.
How should a flat cap fit?
A flat cap should feel secure without pressing tightly around your head. Measure your head circumference using the brand’s sizing instructions, then compare it with the size guide for the particular product. Avoid assuming that your usual size will be identical across different brands or designs.
How to wear a flat cap casually
Keep the rest of the outfit straightforward: jeans, a T-shirt and an overshirt, or chinos with knitwear and a casual jacket. Wear the peak facing forward and let the cap sit naturally. Follow the care label for cleaning, as wool blends, corduroy and linen may require different treatment.
