Särmä Worker Flat Cap, Wool

If the season for the cotton cap is over, switch to this. It's a hat you could wear with anything. At the same time, this cap will demilitarize anything else you are wearing. Just add braces to your trousers and you look all ready for a proper bar fight!

• 50/30/20 % wool/polyester/acrylic
• Light polyester batting, viscose lining on the inside
• Made in Estonia

A proper classic, the humble flat cap is the cornerstone of traditional "working class" headwear, although it fits just about any human being regardless of age and gender. The one who came up with this kind of cap must have been a genius. As a historical note, these actually slowly evolved from the medieval Tudor hats. Our hat follows a very basic and clean style, looks good, and sits properly on yer noggin.

Material

Made of Italian wool fabric: 50 % wool because wool is best, 30 % polyester for strength, and 20 % acrylic came in the side. Fabric weight 360 g/m². From the outside, it's "unbrushed" because we wanted the slightly rough, matte look for these. On the downside, it collects a lot of hair.

There's a light polyester batting on the inside. The fabric layer that touches your head is viscose.

Care

Dry clean only, don't throw this into the washing machine! You could also try to scrub the soiled spot with a sponge, water, and mild soap. This hat has a very long service life unless you lose it.

Sizing

Single centimeter (0.4') increments between 56-62 cm, talking head circumference here. The fit is loose enough to allow a few fingers between the cap and head; definitely no need to size up for relaxed wear. For a taut fit one size smaller than usual might come into question.

Made by Fredrikson in Estonia.
