To complement your smart-casual look, invest in a British country style felt hat, and for the colder months, a trusty beanie hat is the ultimate in insulation. Wide-brim sun hats made with lightweight fabrics are also necessary for those hot summer months.

No matter the weather, our collection of men's flat caps, hats, and baseball caps ensures that you will stay comfortable and protected. Available in everything from tweed to 100% waterproof polyester and crushable felt, they’re a practical choice of headwear. Looking to get that Yorkshire edge to your overall outfit? Then there's nothing quite like investing in a quality Yorkshire Flat Cap. With Rydale hailing from Yorkshire, we've managed to craft some truly remarkable and traditional style men's flat caps that pay true homage to their heritage. So go ahead, literally top off your classic country style with one of these high-quality Yorkshire flat caps. There is, in fact, a genius inherent to this affordable and durable design: less formal than more structured hats– and so less off-putting for men who can’t, as it were, get their heads around hats – its design is still a deceptively clever one. Yes, there really is an official ‘Peaky Blinders’ flat cap, not least because the TV show’s creator, Steven Knight, set up a company to make them and other clothing befitting a Brummie hoodlum at the turn of the last century. The English-made tweed style names? Arthur, Thomas and Shelby, of course.One of the all-time great American hatmakers, it was Bailey – once better known as Bailey of Hollywood – that made hats for all the big stars of the golden era of cinema, Gary Cooper and Cary Grant among them. Grant’s best hat moment? In None But the Lonely Heart, wearing a flat cap throughout. Bailey’s also makes them in showerproof cotton. We all love a good cup of Yorkshire brewed tea and a puffy Yorkshire pudding with our Sunday dinner but where would we be without the good old Yorkshire flat cap? It simply represents the heart of the Yorkshire district and is certainly a piece of timeless country fashion. Typically loved by dads and grandads, the Yorkshire flat cap has evolved amongst the youth of the British population and is now loved by gents of all ages. It is largely reputable on successful TV series such as the Last of the summer wine, Peaky Blinders and even Del boy had one! The flat cap has certainly remained a well-favoured accessory amongst our much-loved British attire and Rydale have kept it nice and simple just how you like it. For more inclement conditions, our wide range of waxed flat caps and waxed baseball caps are perfect for a water resistant outlet layer. They’re a must for damp days and a suitable companion for long country walks or even a spot of gardening. When the rain really starts to pour, however, make sure you have a waterproof hat on hand. Likewise, while it’s not a hat for all seasons – linen versions may work for summer, but the flat cap is essentially a cold-weather style – it is a hat for almost all occasions. Unlike the baseball cap, the flat cap is as at home with tailoring as with jeans and T-shirt, flattering most faces into the bargain.
