A Book on Cap and Hat Culture

Silas Skram, Denmark’s only cap maker, offers a subtle glimpse into the world of headwear. Learn about the curved shape of the flatcap and appreciate the gentle sway of the Panama hat in the breeze. Read about the people who keep the art of hat-making alive—for whom the craft is both a way of life and a livelihood.

Meet designer Henrik Vibskov, author Suzanne Brøgger, fashion expert Torsten Grunwald, and poet Billy Collins—all of whom have something to say about hats and caps.

A coffee-table book with 342 pages filled with photos and anecdotes from an almost forgotten craft.
Large-format book measuring 28 x 24½ cm
