Mens Flat Caps, Duckbill Hats & Ivy Caps
Few hat styles have remained as relevant and recognisable as the flat cap. Also known as the duckbill cap or ivy cap, this low-profile hat has been worn for centuries — crossing generations, cultures and social classes. Today it is just as likely to be seen on city streets, at golf courses or paired with modern streetwear as it is with traditional tailoring.
At Hats From OZ USA, this collection focuses on well-made mens flat caps that respect the heritage of the style while offering comfort and practicality for everyday wear.
A hat with deep roots
The flat cap originated in Northern England during the 14th century, where it was worn by working people and later became widely adopted across Britain and Europe. By the 19th and early 20th century, it had spread to the upper classes, private school students and sporting communities — especially golfers in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Over time, the flat cap has shifted from purely functional to a true style staple. It has appeared in film, music and fashion for decades, maintaining its reputation as a symbol of effortless confidence and understated masculinity.
Materials and seasonal versatility
Originally made from tweed and wool, today’s flat caps are crafted using a wider range of fabrics to suit different climates and seasons. In this collection you will find examples made from:
- Wool and wool-blend fabrics for cool weather
- Cotton and linen for warm climates
- Denim and lighter blends for casual, all-season wear
- Select water-resistant options for changeable conditions
This variety makes the flat cap one of the most practical hats available — suitable for both summer and winter depending on the material.
How to wear a flat cap
The flat cap works across multiple style directions, which is why it has never fallen out of fashion:
- Pair it with jeans, boots and a shirt for a relaxed, everyday look
- Combine it with a blazer or coat for a smart-casual outfit
- Wear it with knitwear in cooler months for a classic heritage feel
It is equally suited for city life, countryside walks, casual weekends or travel. Few hats offer this level of flexibility without appearing forced or overly styled.
