A Distinctive Eight Panel Cap
This style of cap takes its shape from eight wedge cut panels, stitched together so the crown resembles the spokes of an old spinning wheel and finished with a button at the center. It shares its roots with the traditional flat cap that has been part of Irish dress for centuries, updated here with a rounder, fuller profile.
Wool tweed is the fabric most associated with this style, chosen for its insulating properties and natural resistance to light rain. The weave holds its shape well, giving the panel construction a crisp, structured look rather than a soft, collapsed one, and the fabric wears in nicely over years of regular use.
Across our Peaky Blinders Caps, color choices include muted greens and blues inspired by the Irish landscape, alongside bolder, more statement making tones for those who want their cap to stand out. It pairs naturally with a wool sweater or a tweed jacket, and works equally well styled up for an occasion or worn day to day.
