The Story Behind The Cap

An American Classic With Scottish Roots

The Buffalo plaid pattern gained it's modern identity when it was used by a Pennsylvania mill to produce flannel shirts for hard working Americans, making it synonymous with 'rugged workwear'.

And although it has a checkered past (see what we did there??), it's roots are tied to Scottish heritage, resembling the well known Rob Roy Tartan.

"Made for every day, but perfect for the holidays."

We designed this newsboy as an extension of our tartan design while using a soft traditional flannel buffalo plaid fabric. The perfect combination for a rugged, yet festive and cozy cap.

Our caps are sized in CMs to get the best fit. For help measuring your head, reference this step-by-step guide.

Designed with a combination of Flannel and Synthetic Suede, this cap gives off a rugged, yet elegant feel, the perfect juxtaposition of texture and style. Flannel is a fabric born from necessity and perfected through craftsmanship. Flannel traditionally woven from cotton or wool and then brushed to create its signature soft finish, flannel was designed to provide warmth, comfort, and durability in harsh working conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Step 1: Wrap the soft tape, string, or cord around your head above your ears and eyebrows, where your cap usually sits.

Step 2: Double check to make sure the tape comes down far enough at the back of your head, hitting in the right spot.

Step 3: Take note of your measurement in CMs. If using a string or cord, mark where it meets so you can measure it using a traditional tape measure.

Step 4: Refer to the sizing chart above to see where you land.

For our comfort fit flex back caps, we always recommend sizing down. For our fitted caps, size up for a loose fit and size down if you prefer snug. Caps will usually stretch slightly, but rarely do they shrink.

Unfortunately, there is no universal sizing, so a Medium for one brand might be a Small for another. We highly recommend you measure your head to ensure you have an accurate size before ordering from Peaky Hat.

All of our caps are warehoused and shipped directly from Peoria, Illinois. If you place your order Monday through Friday before noon Eastern time, it ships out the exact same day.

We offer a 45-day window for returns and exchanges. Buying a cap online should be rewarding and enjoyable, not a risk. There is a $5 exchange fee and a $10 refund fee. If you ever have an issue, reach out to support@peakyhat.com and Ryan will handle it personally.

Our fabrics are sourced globally—from US mills to Scottish Harris Tweed and UK linens. The final stitching is done by a highly skilled team in Yiwu, China (the same district that produces caps for Stetson and Goorin Bros). We are completely transparent about this because we choose quality over optics, every time.
