Kapitan – Where Tradition Meets Innovation
The Art of the Flat Cap
The flat cap has evolved from its working-class roots into a symbol of timeless style. Today, it’s an essential piece in modern men’s fashion, pairing tradition with individuality. Whether crafted from tweed, linen, or cotton, a premium flat cap adds effortless sophistication to any outfit — a true expression of craftsmanship and confidence.
How to Style a Grey Flat Cap
A grey flat cap is one of the most versatile accessories in men’s headwear. It complements both casual and tailored looks, from wool coats to relaxed denim. Style it with neutral tones or bold textures — dark grey works all year round. For a confident yet understated aesthetic, a flat cap adds just the right touch of distinction.
Tweed — A Fabric with Heritage
Tweed remains one of the most respected fabrics in fashion history. Woven for strength, texture, and warmth, it’s been favored by artisans and gentlemen alike for centuries. Its natural fibers and signature herringbone pattern make it ideal for flat caps and outerwear, blending durability with refined elegance that stands the test of time.
