Failsworth Newbury Flat Cap

Failsworth Newbury Flat Cap

The Failsworth Newbury Flat Cap combines traditional British tweed with practical modern detailing, creating a cap that feels equally at home in the countryside or everyday wear. Made using tweed woven by Mallalieus of Delph, one of Britain’s long-established textile mills, this cap brings together heritage fabric and thoughtful construction.

Crafted from 100% wool Mallalieus tweed, the cap offers the distinctive texture and character associated with traditional British headwear. A protective fabric coating improves water repellency, helps resist stains and maintains the tweed’s appearance through regular wear, making the cap a practical option when conditions are less predictable.

Inside, a 100% recycled polyester lining provides a smooth and comfortable feel. The cap also features a traditional sewn peak, helping maintain its shape and creating the classic flat cap profile associated with British country style.

One of the more subtle features of the Newbury Flat Cap is the ventilation system built into the sweatband. Located directly beneath the peak are three eyelet holes, specifically engineered to prevent heat accumulation and encourage moisture dispersal at key pressure points. This helps improve comfort during extended wear, particularly when moving between indoor and outdoor environments.
