What you need to know about flat caps.
Schiebermütze oder Ballonmütze – was ist der Unterschied?
Both belong to the family of classic men's caps, but differ significantly in their cut. The flat cap – also known as a newsboy cap or ivy cap – sits flat and slim on the head, giving it a modern and neat look. The balloon cap – also called a newsboy cap or Gatsby cap – has a more voluminous 8-panel cut and, thanks to its round shape, appears more casual and eye-catching. Our tip: The flat cap for a clean look, the balloon cap for more retro character.
Die Schiebermütze – ein zeitloser Klassiker
The flat cap has a long history: originally worn as a work cap in Great Britain and Ireland, it became a style symbol in the 20th century – from the Peaky Blinders to modern style icons. Today, the flat cap is experiencing a strong comeback and is no longer just an accessory for older men. Whether young or old, casual or elegant – the flat cap works across generations and adds character to any outfit. It is one of the few accessories that looks good both in everyday life and at formal occasions.
Welche Kopfgröße passt?
Our flat caps and newsboy caps are made in one size and feature an elastic band at the back. This band adjusts flexibly to different head sizes, ensuring a comfortable fit without pinching or slipping. No need to choose a size – simply put it on and enjoy.
Die Schiebermütze richtig tragen
The flat cap is worn slightly tilted on the head – the brim points forward and sits a little lower on the forehead. For a more casual look, you can push the cap back slightly. Important: The cap should rest on the ears, not hover over them. With the balloon cap, you have a bit more leeway – its more voluminous cut automatically results in a looser, more relaxed fit.
Schiebermütze zur Hochzeit
A flat cap or newsboy cap is the perfect accessory for vintage and boho weddings – it makes a personal statement and visually highlights the groom or best man. Especially in tweed, combined with a matching waistcoat, it creates an authentic retro gentleman's look. For summer weddings, opt for the linen version. Tip: Wear the cap for photos and take it off during the ceremony – that way you get the best of both worlds.
Die Schiebermütze zum Outfit kombinieren
The flat cap is a chameleon among accessories. With jeans and a jacket, it looks urban and casual; with a suit or blazer, it exudes British gentlemanly charm. Particularly stylish: a tweed flat cap combined with a matching tweed suspender set and a tweed bow tie – the complete vintage look, perfectly coordinated. Linen flat caps are ideal for a summer look with chinos and a rolled-up shirt.
Schiebermütze pflegen
Tweed caps are best cleaned of dust and lint with a soft clothes brush. For light soiling, gently dab with a damp cloth. Linen caps are even easier to care for – they can be hand-washed at 30°C if necessary. Neither material should be tumble-dried; instead, air-dry and reshape to help the cap retain its form.
Welches Material für welche Jahreszeit?
Woolen tweed is the perfect choice for autumn and winter – robust, warm, and with that quintessential British charm. Linen, on the other hand, is the ideal summer companion – light, breathable, and pleasantly cool on the head. Both materials are represented in our collection, so you'll find the perfect hat for every season. As a general rule: tweed from October, linen from April.
