This old-fashion flat cap has full sides and a flat bill. There's a bit of space between the brim and the body of the hat, which is sewn down (no snap). The top and back of the body are one continuous piece, with small triangular side panels for shaping. Made of an incredibly soft light-weight wool in a beautiful herringbone stripe. Like all of our Heritage hats, this cap is signed and dated by the artisan who made it in Germany.
