Oakmoor Flat Cap in Harris Tweed by Walker and Hawkes

Our Oakmoor Flat Cap is a timeless classic, an essential wardrobe item for any country man or woman. Now made with premium 100% virgin wool, this cap is guaranteed to fit any occasion, whether in the town or the countryside.

Crafted to perfection, from the hand-woven Harris Tweed to the meticulous manufacturing process, we have meticulously designed this hat for style while maintaining durability and quality. Harris Tweed is a premium fabric hand-made in Scotland from pure virgin wool, meaning it has never been used before. Widely considered one of the most luxurious fabrics in the world, it is the only fabric protected by legislation to ensure top quality is maintained. According to the act, Harris Tweed must be "Handwoven by the islanders at their homes in the Outer Hebrides, finished in the Outer Hebrides, and made from pure virgin wool dyed and spun in the Outer Hebrides."

We, at Walker & Hawkes, have been designing tweed caps for over 20 years. Combined with the world-renowned Harris Tweed fabric, you'll find the true meaning of excellent craftsmanship when wearing your Oakmoor Flat Cap. Your cap will help keep your head warm during the colder months with its solid feel and deep fit, while remaining suitable for warmer months due to its natural lightweight and breathability. The stiffened peak will keep the sun out of your eyes, and the ribbed sweatband will help soak up perspiration, preventing an itchy head due to contact with the wool.

We offer a selection of colors, from earthy tones that beautifully capture the aura of the Scottish landscape to more contemporary, vivid colorways. Complete the stylish country look with our other Harris Tweed garments, including matching waistcoats, gloves, and blazers.

Be sure to accurately measure your hat size to get the perfect fit you expect from a Walker and Hawkes product. Hand-wash or dry-clean only to maintain the quality.

The history of Harris Tweed dates back to the 1800s, when it was first woven as a necessity to create a warm and durable fabric to help workers in the cold climate of Scotland. It even became a form of currency, used to buy food and pay rent. As the fabric gained popularity, mainland manufacturers turned to machines to craft their Tweed, while the islanders in the Outer Hebrides maintained their traditional hand process. Lady Catherine Herbert, the wife of Alexander 6th Earl of Dunmore, played a major role in the fabric's rise to fame, selling it to her wealthy friends.

Since then, Harris Tweed has become a global success, used by everyone from royalty and Hollywood icons to farmers and outdoorsmen.
