Summer and winter caps

Flat caps in fabric or felt are essential accessories in the male wardrobe: both for sports and in everyday life, these caps have gained great appeal thanks to their use in internationally famous TV series such as Peaky Blinders or Irish Man, becoming the most sought after hats of the moment.

The flat cap is a cap with a visor, flat dome and side band; was born in the early 1500s where they are seen at the court of the Tuor, a historic English royal family, but also in some Neapolitan writings of 1789.

The ways to call this type of caps are different: Flat Cap, Driver Cap, Golf Cap and finally in Italian Coppole: what is certain is that, thanks to its flexibility, it remains one of the most used hats in the world.

How to choose the most suitable flat cap for you

Choosing the type of flat cap that best suits your needs is a very important phase and must be faced with great attention: both in the case of a sporting activity and more formal occasions, the choice of flat cap must be perfectly in tune with the style of your own outfit.

For more sporty-casual looks or for slightly more urban styles, the choice is directed towards flat caps in fabric with herringbone patterns or with classic colored checkered lines; a different choice, on the other hand, if the use is dedicated to a more formal occasion: in this case the choice will fall on something that reflects one's style and with colors that match one's clothing, preferably in solid colors.

It is also necessary to pay attention to the seasonality in which you want to use this accessory: in the cold seasons the choice of the flat cap will fall on a heavier and possibly waterproof fabric, while in the case of a summer hat we can choose a classic flat cap in canvas with brighter colors .

How to Choose the Right Hat Size

Choosing the correct coppola size is always a critical moment because each hat, made with craftsmanship and then sold in hats, has very different sizes compared to the classic ones to which clothing stores have become accustomed.

The sizes for hats are calculated in centimeters and range from size 55 (the smallest) up to 62 (the largest); to understand which is the most suitable size for us we need to follow an extremely simple and quick procedure.

To calculate your correct flat cap size, all you have to do is take a tailor's tape measure, measure the circumference of your head keeping the tape measure just one centimeter above your ears, which is the point where your hat will fit perfectly.

If you do not have a tailor's meter, you can calculate the size simply using a piece of string, a string or a lace of your shoes: in the same procedure as before, calculate the circumference with the meter, mark with a pen or a felt-tip pen at the point where the two parts of the lace meet, after which with a ruler or a normal meter measure the lace.
