Our Patchwork Tweed Flat Cap from Ireland reminds me of something my grandfather used to wear—simple, sturdy, and full of character. The flat cap has been part of Irish life for over a century, and it’s easy to see why. The shape is practical with a snug fit and a curved peak that keeps the weather out of your eyes without getting in the way. Whether you're out for a walk, running errands, or just enjoying a crisp afternoon, this one stays put and does its job. And if you’re heading out into the cold, it pairs beautifully with an Alpaca Wool Irish Scarf.
But what really sets this version apart is the patchwork. Each cap is made in Ireland from a mix of genuine Irish tweeds—different weaves, colors, and textures all stitched together into something that’s totally one-of-a-kind. It’s like wearing a little piece of the Irish countryside: earthy browns, mossy greens, soft greys, and deep blues, all working together in a way that feels lived-in and real. You’re not going to see another one exactly like it, and that’s kind of the charm.
It’s not just good-looking, either. The tweed is thick, warm, and naturally insulating, holds up against the wind, and is perfect for colder weather. Inside, the viscose taffeta lining feels smooth against the skin and cool to the touch.
