Our Black & White Herringbone Flat Cap with Shamrock Embroidery has a shape that feels instantly familiar. Low-profile and softly rounded, it sits close to the head with just enough structure to hold its form, and a short, gently curved peak that offers shade without feeling stiff. It’s a design that hasn’t needed much changing over the years, simply because it works.
In Ireland, the flat cap has long been part of everyday life. Worn by farmers, tradesmen, and city workers alike, it became a practical solution to changeable weather, offering warmth and protection without getting in the way. Over time, it grew into something more than that, a quiet marker of place and identity, passed down through generations and still worn today. At the front, a small embroidered shamrock adds a subtle nod to Irish heritage.
Its made from Irish tweed, woven for durability and warmth, with a classic herringbone pattern that adds depth without being loud. Tweed has a natural ability to handle wind and cold, and it softens with wear, taking on a character of its own.
The cap feels comfortable from the moment you put it on, sitting. It works just as well on a crisp coastal walk as it does for everyday wear around town, which is why the style has endured for so long.
For a complete look rooted in Irish tradition, this flat cap pairs naturally with our Men’s Half Zip Aran Troyer Sweater.
