How to Style a Flat Cap
The flat cap may seem like the simplest of men’s headwear, but it has a rich history and plenty of anecdotes to its name. Its roots can be traced back to 14th century Northern England, where it was commonly called a bonnet. In the 1600s, an Act of Parliament was passed requiring males over six to wear wool caps on Sundays and holidays (excluding nobility) or face three farthings in fines a day — and while this law didn’t last long, it helped establish flat caps as the default attire for lower-class men.
