Kintyre Irish Tweed Cap
Style
The Kintyre cap is a classic flat cap style with a sturdy, curved visor. This simple, streamlined style fits closer to the head than a Bakerboy for an understated look.
These caps not only look great, but they keep the elements out of your eyes when you're out in the wilds - be that out on the moors or just around town.
Fit
Kintyre is a shallow style that sits above the ears. A long back panel ensures a secure fit. We would advise taking your usual hat size.
The band material does not stretch over time, but the overall shape of the hat will mould to better fit the wearer.
Design Features
- Gently curved brim.
- Fully lined in viscose.
- Grosgrain sweatband.
- Made in Scotland.

Fabric
Irish tweeds are characterised by their Donegal fleck pattern. These small speck or "neps" are made by mixing shorter, colourful yarns into the base wool during the spinning process. Historically done to reduce waste and use up otherwise unusably short fibres, these contrasting specks and the fuzzy tweeds they were woven into have gained a cult following. Woven by a historic mill in Ireland, these tweeds have similar characteristic to Harris Tweed, oweing to their shared history as a working mans cloths, designed to survie the frigid north atlantic climate.

Herringbone
Herringbone, also called broken twill weave, describes a distinctive V-shaped weaving pattern. It is distinguished from a plain chevron by the break at reversal, which makes it resemble a broken zigzag. The pattern is called herringbone because it resembles the skeleton of a herring fish.
