Failsworth Waterproof Flat Cap

Failsworth Waterproof Cap

The Failsworth Waterproof Cap combines the traditional shape of a classic flat cap with a waterproof construction designed for wet British weather. Its outer uses 100% wool tweed from the Lovat Mill in Scotland, while a waterproof membrane sits between the wool and the 100% recycled polyester diamond-quilted lining.

The wool tweed gives the cap its traditional country character, with the Lovat Mill fabric providing a distinctive Scottish connection. Rather than relying on a separate waterproof outer fabric, Failsworth builds the weather protection into the cap itself. The membrane sits beneath the wool outer, creating a barrier between the outside and the lined interior.

That construction makes the cap particularly useful when you want the appearance of a traditional tweed flat cap without choosing a cap intended only for dry conditions. The waterproof membrane is the key functional feature, helping protect the head from rain while the wool outer retains the appearance and texture expected from country tweed.

Inside, the 100% recycled polyester lining has a diamond-quilted construction. It gives the cap a padded inner finish while adding another clear distinction from an unlined or simply lined flat cap. The wool outer and quilted lining work together to create a traditional-looking cap with a more weather-focused construction.

Failsworth Waterproof Cap Key Features

A button-down peak completes the classic flat cap design. It keeps the peak securely connected to the front of the cap and maintains the clean, traditional profile associated with this style. The cap complements country clothing, whether worn with a tweed jacket and country coat or used as a practical finishing piece with more casual outdoor clothing.

The Failsworth Waterproof Cap is available in a range of tweed patterns and colours, so the exact appearance can vary by colourway. Its defining construction remains the same: 100% wool tweed from Lovat Mill, a waterproof membrane beneath the outer, and a 100% recycled polyester diamond-quilted lining.

For anyone looking for a traditional wool tweed flat cap that can handle wet weather, the Failsworth Waterproof Cap offers a useful combination of classic country styling and built-in waterproof protection. The Lovat Mill wool outer gives it its character, while the concealed membrane provides the feature that makes this cap different from a conventional tweed flat cap.
