Waxed caps are made from waxed cotton fabric and are a very popular choice for outdoor pursuits, including fishing and hunting, as well as for working outdoors. Waxed cotton offers a durable and waterproof material that is lightweight, making it an excellent choice for a changeable climate so that you can be sure you’ll stay warm and dry all day, regardless of the weather.
Sailors have been looking for ways to waterproof their sails and their clothing for many centuries, and they used fish oils and grease to coat their fabrics for many years. In the 1800s, waxed cotton was developed as the ideal fabric for outerwear, and this was widely used for uniforms in World War Two. In entering the mainstream, it capitalised on the fashion for style combined with practicality, becoming a fabric of choice for the landed gentry, especially useful for horse riding and fishing.
The waxed cap is not just a functional choice but a style statement that has featured on catwalks in recent years. The chic combination of vintage style and versatile headwear appeals to people all over the world, and a quality waxed cap will last for many years. We love the waterproof Fisherman Waxed Cap, available in black and olive, which is a classic choice to keep you dry, whatever the weather decides to throw at you!
The Trinity Wax Flat Cap gives you the best of both worlds, inspired by the classic flat cap that has experienced a surge in popularity since the cult TV series Peaky Blinders brought it into mainstream fashion once again. This is a design that has been at the forefront of Irish style for centuries, and waxed cotton is a great alternative to the original wool and tweed fabrics, offering superior protection from the elements. The Trinity Wax Flat Cap is available in brown, olive, tartan and black, and the luxurious quilted lining makes it a comfortable, wearable design.
The Waxed Walking Hat by Hanna Hats is a practical style that gives you the waterproof, warm headwear you need, without compromising on style. It is a stiff-bodied, tailored hat that is crafted from waterproof Irish waxed cotton, and we love the neat, stiff brim with decorative stitching. It is fully lined and perfect for outdoor activities, so you can enjoy walking, camping and fishing in comfort!
