Flat Cap Plaid Virgin Wool - City Sport

Checked Virgin Wool Flat Cap – City Sport

A City Sport flat cap in 100% virgin wool, with an elegant check pattern, made in Belgium in a fabric based on Irish Donegal Tweed.

With its traditional look and warm tones, the Checked Virgin Wool Flat Cap – City Sport is an ideal style to complement autumn and winter outfits.

Its flat shape, elegant and relatively close to the head, gives it a more discreet silhouette than an 8-panel or Irish cap. Its 100% virgin wool fabric brings the authentic character one expects from a fine winter cap.

Made in Belgium by City Sport, it combines European hat-making expertise, natural materials and Irish inspiration.

An elegant flat cap for winter

A timeless classic in hat-making, the flat cap appeals through its balance between elegance and casual ease.

Less voluminous than an Irish cap or an 8-panel cap, it hugs the shape of the head more closely and is easy to wear every day.

City Sport adds extra personality here through a check pattern and bordeaux tones that are particularly well suited to the autumn-winter season.

100% virgin wool: warmth and authenticity

This cap is crafted in 100% virgin wool, an essential material for headwear intended for cooler periods.

Wool is valued in hat-making for its comfort, its warm feel and its natural elegance. It pairs particularly well with traditional styles such as this City Sport flat cap.

An excellent alternative to the beanie for those who want to maintain a more dressed appearance during winter.

A fabric inspired by Irish Donegal Tweed

One of the distinctive features of this cap lies in its fabric based on Donegal Tweed from Ireland.

Appreciated for its textured look and authentic character, tweed is closely associated with traditional British and Irish caps.

Combined here with a check pattern, it gives this City Sport flat cap a strong identity while remaining elegant enough to be easily paired with different outfits.

A City Sport cap made in Belgium

The Checked Virgin Wool Flat Cap is made in Belgium by City Sport – Declercq.

City Sport is renowned for its traditional caps and its various interpretations of the great styles of men's and women's hat-making.

This style brings together three particularly interesting qualities: 100% virgin wool, Irish-inspired fabric and Belgian manufacturing.

Features of the City Sport Checked Flat Cap

Why choose this City Sport cap?

• Irish Donegal Tweed for its authentic character;
• Belgian manufacturing by City Sport;
• Elegant flat shape, easy to wear;
• Check pattern for added personality;
• Unisex style for men and women;

How to wear a check cap?

The check pattern naturally gives this cap more presence. For a balanced outfit, we recommend pairing it with relatively understated clothing.

It pairs particularly well with a navy, grey, beige or camel coat, a wool jacket, a plain sweater or raw denim jeans.

The bordeaux tones of the style can also be subtly echoed by a scarf, a sweater or another accessory.

Flat cap or 8-panel cap?

If you are hesitating between several City Sport styles, the choice depends mainly on the volume you are looking for.

• Flat cap: a discreet silhouette close to the head.
• Duck bill: an even more fitted and contemporary profile.
• 8-panel cap: a fuller crown and a strong traditional style.
• Irish cap: more volume for an authentic look.

This check cap is therefore particularly well suited if you are looking for the elegance of tweed without the volume of an 8-panel cap.

Advice from Chapellerie Traclet

To find the right size, measure your head circumference with a tape measure, passing approximately one centimeter above your eyebrows and ears, without pulling too tight.

This style runs true to size: choose your usual size.

To preserve the wool and fabric of your cap, opt for gentle care and follow the instructions on the manufacturer's label.
