How Should a Flat Cap Fit ?

A good flat cap should feel like it belongs to you.

Not too tight, not sliding around, and sitting just right above the eyebrows. When a cap fits properly it becomes something you reach for every day without thinking about it.

But getting the fit right can sometimes be confusing, especially if you are buying online or trying a style for the first time.

We’ve put together a simple guide explaining how a flat cap should fit, how to measure your head correctly, and what to look for if a cap feels too tight or too loose.

If you’re choosing your first cap or simply want to make sure you’re wearing it the way it was designed to be worn, this guide should help.

If you ever need help choosing a size or style, just get in touch. We’re always happy to help you find the right cap.

With Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man just days away, the appetite for sharp tailoring and structured tweed caps is building again.

When Peaky Blinders first appeared on screen, it didn’t invent the flat cap, it restored it. Not as nostalgia. Not as novelty. But as something powerful, restrained and quietly authoritative.

For us at Gamble & Gunn, the cap was never a trend.

The difference between style and costume comes down to structure and fit. A well-cut flat cap should sit cleanly, hold its shape, frame the face and feel substantial in the hand. When those details are right, it doesn’t feel theatrical. It feels natural.

Long before television rediscovered it, the flat cap was part of everyday British life, crafted in heavy tweeds, built for weather and work. What resonates now isn’t just the aesthetic. It’s the permanence.

If you’re revisiting the Peaky silhouette this season:
– Choose genuine tweed
– Avoid oversized crowns
– Stick to timeless tones like charcoal, navy and forest green
– Make sure the fit is right

A good cap should feel like it belongs to you.

Inspired by history. Made for now.

If you’d like guidance on shape, fit or fabric, we’re always happy to help.

Introducing the Stanley – A Limited Edition with a Story

Every so often, we uncover something truly rare. This time, it was a bolt of rust-check tweed woven in 1999 by the legendary W. Bill, tucked away in storage for over 25 years.

That cloth has now been brought back to life in our Stanley Vintage 1999 Flat Cap – a cap that carries history in every stitch.

1999 was no ordinary year: Kubrick released his final film, the Euro was introduced, and the world prepared to step into a new millennium. Now you can wear a piece of that moment in time.

British-made

Limited edition – once it’s gone, it’s gone

Fully lined in satin, finished with a petersham sweatband

Woven from an archive cloth you won’t find again

This isn’t just a cap – it’s heritage, craftsmanship, and story all in one.
