Wax caps and hats are the perfect accessory for changeable climates, and here in Ireland, we often must cope with unexpected showers! A waxed cap is a warm, waterproof style that will keep you cosy and dry while you work or spend time outdoors, and we have a good selection of designs that combine style and practicality for a versatile look. At Weavers of Ireland, we love traditional styles that can cope with the rigours of everyday life and the wax caps and hats in our catalogue are durable and look great.
We have a good choice of wax hats for men and women, including classic fisherman waxed caps and the wax bucket hat that is perfect for all outdoor occasions - especially camping. The Ladies Erin Wax Bucket Hat is made from 100% waxed cotton by Mucros Weavers in their studio in Killarney National Park, and it exudes quality and style. It’s the perfect option for a festival, keeping you warm and dry so you can have a great time, whatever the weather.
The waxed walking hat and the wax flat cap designs are excellent options for every season, and we love the black, brown, olive and tartan colour options. Some of our favourite celebrities are often spotted wearing flat caps and big names such as David Beckham and Justin Timberlake certainly keep several in their wardrobes. The flat cap is an iconic style that has been worn in Ireland for centuries and is now popular across the world, and the wax fabrics make it even more practical.
Waxed cotton has been used for outdoor clothing and headwear for many years, and the original waterproof clothing would have been made from the oilskin fabrics used in boat making. These were coated in oils and fats to protect against the elements, and waxed cotton is a modern alternative that is comfortable to wear all day long. Our waxed caps and hats come in a wide range of colours and styles so you can find the best wet weather option to accessorise any outfit.
At Weavers of Ireland, we love to bring contemporary Irish designs to the world, using the classic Irish styles and crafting techniques.
