I love flat caps. I have a few...for different seasons and occasions. I just found two more I didn't even know I had (kind of like my razor collection). Such a classic hat for a man, rich or poor. Great history. How many do you have and do you have a favourite style?

I have 3 caps two are paperboy style in different colours. One is blue herringbone the other is grey herringbone.
My other cap is London style in a light brown check.
I only wear them in the autumn, winter and spring as they really keep my head warm. I prefer the paperboys as these were all men in Belfast wore at one time.
The paperboys are making a comeback here with people of all age's wearing them.

I will today. I ordered it on Etsy from Sterkowski in Poland March 14. It's been mostly hanging out in US Customs since then. I hope when the mailman gets here it was worth the wait.
I have 4 flat caps (all Ivy six panels). One brown sued, one blue plaid, one blue jeans and one grey herringbone. Each for a season although I tend to alternate nonetheless. For more formal occasions and sometimes for fun when I go to work I also have a Fedora hat.
Flat Caps are my favorite hat especially in the cooler months. I own about 10 of them. There are 4 basic types of Flat Caps. Here are some pictures of the basic types. First one is a Baker Boy, then a Duck Bill, then a Flat Cap, then a Newsboy.
I also like the 8-panel style. I don't have a picture of one right now.
It was. Good thing I was here it came signature required, for a $25 dollar hat!? It is really nice, the fit is perfect and the linen weave is loose enough you can see light through it. Something besides baseball caps for the summer.
Here's a quick poorly taken photo.They call it their Ivy Five.

All those flat caps are very classy. #3 and #4 are really nice.
I had a Harris Tweed cap a few years ago and lost it on a train.
Just bought a Donegal tweed at Kevin & Howlin in Dublin.
Mine is like the brown herringbone in this pic...

I've got three, a Walmart special, a Botleva (looked good and I was buying hats), and a Stetson EU.
I have three. I haven't worn them in a while. I'll have to get them out after the move. I think I purchased them all at Kohl's.
I have had a few flat caps, mostly Newsboys. Currently I have a Stetson Hatteras in Donegal Twead.
I am going to order two oversized Newsboys from Etsy on the first.

No, I'm not sure I can rock a flat cap. Me Irish ma thought I looked good in one, but. Agewise I'm between hipster and ancient. Those two get a pass, as well as actual UK/Irish. However, wife hates ballcaps

though she said it in 1979...This is a seriously nice cap, the Walker and Hawkes. Glad I ordered two, though the brown is my favorite. A steal at $15, IMO.
