WALTER FLAT CAPS · SIZES
The cap that sits right
The whole size range fits inside eight centimetres. One centimetre is already a size — which is why the tape measure is worth it.

How to measure
- Take a tape measure — a piece of string laid against a ruler afterwards does the job too.
- Just above the ears and round the widest point at the back. Not across the forehead, not over the eyebrows.
- Firm, but without pressing in. A finger should not fit underneath.
- Round up. Between two sizes, take the larger: a cap gives very little.
Guess, and you will be one or two centimetres out — and that is exactly one size. It is the easiest return there is to avoid.
Six shapes
If the size is right and the cap still does not sit, it is the shape and not the circumference.
Flat, low crown, short peak. Adds the least — the first cap for a man who has never worn one.
Fuller crown that falls to the back. Balances a narrow or long face; on a round one it looks heavy.
High front, stiff peak. Gives you an outline and forgives no mistake in size.
The smallest and closest-fitting. Discreet under a coat; on a large head it turns tight quickly.
Eight stitched panels meeting at the top. You can see the construction — not a cap for going unnoticed.
Lined, with ear flaps you can pull down. Otherwise the same cuts.
And the cloth
Wool, new wool, tweed, herringbone, corduroy, cotton and linen hold their shape into a third winter. Thin polyester does not.
Which shape and which cloth a cap is made in is in the product details. The label sewn inside always takes priority over a rule of thumb.

UP TO 60% OFF
When this clock reaches zero, the offer is over. Nothing is reordered – once a cap sells out, it stays gone.

Every cap is made to be worn and looked after for years – with an easy fit, breathable cloth, a timeless shape and a finish you can feel the moment you put it on.
Every cap is built to sit naturally, stay breathable and feel comfortable all day – and only improve with wearing. And I stand behind every one: if it doesn't sit the way you hoped, send it back within 30 days. It is as simple as that.

Care
A light brush with a soft brush keeps the cloth fresh and free of dust. For marks: a damp cloth with mild soapy water, then let the cap air dry — never with heat.
Keep the cap on a wooden cap former or in a box that fits when you are not wearing it, so it holds its shape and colour. Always pick it up by the peak, to spare the crown.

A WORD FROM WALTER FLAT CAPS
I know a clearance this size sounds too good to be true – so here is the honest reason.
I sell online only, with no shop in between. Rather than leave the last collection sitting in boxes, I'd sooner see these caps worn and looked after for years.
That's why everything left is up to 60% off in the closing-down sale. No membership, no hidden costs, no catch.
LOVED BY OVER 15,000 CUSTOMERS IN THE UK
4.8 out of 5 on average ★ — real reviews from customers who wear their cap every day.
The quality of the stitching surprised me. This one has gone straight into daily use.
I wasn't expecting much, but the fit and the cloth are honestly better than caps I've paid more for.
I bought one for my husband and one for me. They arrived well packed and fit exactly. I'm already ordering the next.
I was sceptical, but it's just right. The finish is a good deal neater than I expected.
I ordered a cap for a trip and it sat right straight away. Good weight to the cloth, not thin at all.
Ordered two. Soft, warm and well made – feels like something that will see out a lot of winters.
Don't take my word for it – take theirs

OUR MISSION
The last caps of the collection.
I'd rather every cap ended up on a good head than in a dark box. — Walter Ackroyd
Why this collection has to go now
A cap is a small thing with a great deal that can go wrong: the height of the crown, the length and set of the peak, the way the lining gives. Those are the three things I look at before a cap goes into the collection. If it doesn't sit right, it doesn't go in.
The whole collection is going now.
Rather than leave the rest of the caps sitting in boxes, I'd sooner see them worn and looked after. That's why the last collection is now up to 60% off.
Once a cap is gone in a colour, it stays gone.
Thank you for trusting my eye.
