Looking to Up My Hat Game – Flat Cap / Duckbill Recommendations

[vAx]

Growing older, losing hair, and now with a clean-shaved head, it feels like it’s time to step up my hat game as the cold is coming. I’ve always worn some kind of headgear, baseball caps in my youth, and I still wear trucker caps from Stetson on occasion, depending on the weather. Lately though, I’ve been preferring Stetson’s Texas flat caps (also known as a duckbill cap).

That said, I’d like to broaden my horizons a bit and check out other makers offering similar styles. I don’t want to focus solely on Stetson’s lineup.

If anyone has recommendations for good-quality flat caps, preferably made from wool, I’d really appreciate the suggestions.

This thread is full of caps TFLers are wearing which I would consider a recommendation. Pick the ones that look good to you and go for it!

Sterkowski has a store on Amazon - they are a reputable maker for a decent price. They are not high end like some of the caps you will see in the thread shared by @rogueclimber, but they are a good starter brand.

Sterkowski

We are a family business, a hats manufacture established in 1926 in Warsaw, Poland.

(There is a dedicated Sterkowski thread on TFL. You can use the search function to dig it up.)

PS: I see you are in Sweden. Sterkowski is actually a Polish brand so you might want to sort out how to order directly from them in Europe, which is totally possible.

PPS, welcome aboard!

Thanks, glad to be here! I’ll definitely check them out, the fact that they’re based in Poland makes it a bit more convenient.

Thomas Farthing in the UK has some beautiful caps in their lineup

Check out Monsivais, a small shop in LA. He has a webpage, same name. Also, Ketih LoBlue..."A well dressed head"....wonderful period correct caps using vintage materials.
