- Lightweight summer flatcap
- Main size measured in centimeters
- Thin cotton linings
- Handmade by master Herr Bullmann in Germany
This classic flatcap is wider at the back and rounder in front than our modern narrow models. The shape is a little more jaunty as the brim is also smaller than most of our flatcap caps.
The flatcap is made of luxury silk, and can be worn by anyone who wants an authentic look and a cap that responds to classic men’s/women’s fashion. The cap’s dense pattern gives a vivid optical play up close, and a nice brown hue when viewing from a distance. Silk, is known for beeing more glassy and graceful than the matte fibers such as wool or cotton. Read about silk cap maintenance here: How to wash your cap
Traditional cap production is upheld by Wilgart and master Bullmann’s handmade Sixpence caps.
In southern Germany, specifically Bavaria, is the old town of Bamberg, and there is one of Germany’s only cap makers. He bellieves in handcraft and local production of headwear. Just like in the old days, each cap is pulled over a wooden shape and ironed the traditional way. See for yourself in the video below how a flatcap is made in the small family business where our hat shop’s own cap maker Silas Skram learned the trade. Wilgart is a well-stocked cap store in the trendy street Jægersborggade, Copenhagen.
