A Legacy of Craftsmanship
Failsworth has been creating top-quality headwear since 1903. What started as a small operation in Manchester quickly grew into something legendary. By the 1940s, production had soared, and during World War II, Failsworth even crafted flying helmets and specialized gear for commandos. Adapting to changing styles over the decades, the company embraced new trends and fresh designs, always staying ahead of the game. Today, they continue to push boundaries with innovative materials and timeless styles.

Premium Materials and Craftsmanship
Failsworth is committed to using only the best materials to create hats that feel as good as they look. Wool tweed offers warmth and durability, making it a great choice for cooler weather.

Among these fine materials, one truly stands out: Harris Tweed. This world-renowned material is handwoven in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland using pure virgin wool. Each Failsworth Harris tweed cap carries the official Orb mark, a symbol of authenticity and exceptional quality.
The Popularity of the Flat Cap & Iconic Figures
The flat cap has deep roots in Irish history, dating back to the 14th century. In the 16th century, an English law even required men to wear wool caps on Sundays to support the wool trade, boosting the popularity of the style. Over time, flat caps became an everyday staple for farmers, workers, and gentlemen alike.It has become an iconic piece of headwear, often worn by beloved characters in film, television, and comics. One of the most well-known is Andy Capp, the easygoing and mischievous comic strip character who has been sporting his signature flat cap since 1957. In recent years, the popularity of the style has been reinforced by Thomas Shelby and the Peaky Blinders gang, whose sharp, vintage-inspired outfits have made flat caps a symbol of bold, effortless style.
