A Vienna based startup that
envisioned a world with better headwear…
The Why
Reinventing Flat Caps.
Flat caps have been around for a long time, and have been more or less the same. It was time to reinvent them.
That was our ambition — to create the world’s finest flat cap. It’s the piece that put us on the map, the icon that shaped our identity.
The WHO
We are KAPITAN.
An Austrian-based startup born from the ambition to reinvent the flat cap — and driven by the vision to shape the future of headwear.
Rooted in craftsmanship and guided by design, we create with purpose, precision, and character.
The What
Premium Headwear.
We’ve evolved beyond flat caps to design headwear that merges timeless aesthetics with modern sensibility. Every detail is considered, every line intentional — built for those who appreciate quiet design and enduring quality.
The Where
Austrian Design, European Craftmanship.
Our headwear is designed in Austria and carefully crafted in Europe. This is where our ideas take shape — a blend of Austrian precision and European expertise that ensures every piece meets the highest standards of design and quality.
The HOW
Made the Right Way.
We work with trusted European partners who share our values — fair wages, ethical production, and sustainable practices. Each item is made responsibly, with care and respect for people, materials, and the craft itself.

The Kapitan Price
Honest Products, Honest Prices.
We don’t believe craftsmanship should come at a luxury-brand markup.
With short supply chains and a direct-to-consumer model, we deliver headwear that rivals the finest — without the inflated price tag. Premium quality, honestly made and fairly priced.
