London Flat Cap Anthracite - City Sport

London Flat Cap Loden Wool & Alpaca Anthracite – City Sport

An elegant City Sport flat cap in Loden fabric, made from 80% wool and 20% alpaca, designed to combine warmth, softness and elegance throughout winter.

With its timeless anthracite grey colour and classic silhouette, the London Flat Cap – City Sport is a model particularly well suited to cool days.

Its Loden fabric in wool and alpaca is its main asset: warm, insulating and naturally suited to winter conditions, it also brings a pleasant feel and a great look to this cap.

Made in Belgium by City Sport, the London thus combines European hat-making expertise, winter material and traditional elegance.

An elegant flat cap for winter

The flat cap is one of the essential shapes in hat making. Its relatively close-fitting silhouette gives it a more understated look than an 8-panel or Irish cap.

With the London model, City Sport offers a particularly winter-ready interpretation through the use of a Loden fabric and a composition combining wool and alpaca.

Its anthracite colour enhances its versatility: this cap can just as easily complement a dressed-up outfit as a more casual one.

Loden: an iconic winter material

Loden is a fabric traditionally associated with alpine regions and clothing designed to withstand cool temperatures.

Dense and warm, it is particularly valued for its insulating properties and its ability to offer a degree of protection against moisture.

City Sport uses this material here to create an elegant and functional winter cap, able to complement both everyday outings and more dressed-up outfits.

80% wool and 20% alpaca: warmth and softness

The London Cap is made of 80% wool and 20% alpaca.

Wool naturally provides warmth and comfort, while the addition of alpaca helps give the fabric a pleasant feel and a sense of softness.

This combination makes it a particularly appealing model for those looking for a warm winter cap without sacrificing an elegant silhouette.

An anthracite colour that is easy to pair

Anthracite grey is one of the most versatile colours for a winter cap.

Softer than black while remaining understated and elegant, it pairs easily with many colours:

• black or navy coat;
• grey or tweed jacket;
• camel or beige coat;
• burgundy, green, navy or ecru jumper;
• raw denim jeans or chino trousers;
• black or brown leather shoes and accessories.

Features of the London Flat Cap by City Sport

Why choose the London City Sport Cap?

• 80% wool and 20% alpaca for winter;

Flat cap or 8-panel cap: which one to choose?

The difference lies mainly in the volume.

• Flat cap: understated silhouette that sits relatively close to the head.
• Duck bill cap: an even more streamlined and fitted silhouette.
• 8-panel cap: more generous crown for a distinctly traditional look.
• Irish cap: more volume and a particularly authentic style.

The London is therefore ideal if you are looking for a warm yet understated cap, easy to wear with a variety of styles.

How to wear the London Anthracite Cap?

Thanks to its anthracite colour, the London can become a true everyday cap throughout winter.

For an elegant look, pair it with a wool coat, a tweed jacket or a blazer.

For a more casual style, it will work perfectly with jeans, a wool jumper and a jacket.

Wear it naturally in line with your face with the peak slightly lowered to preserve the traditional elegance of the flat cap shape.

The advice from Chapellerie Traclet

If your priority is a warm winter cap without an overly bulky shape, the London is a particularly compelling choice.

Its blend of wool and alpaca and its Loden fabric set it apart from a classic flat wool cap.

To determine your size, measure your head circumference with a tape measure, passing approximately one centimetre above your eyebrows and ears, without pulling too tight.

Use your usual head circumference measurement.

To preserve the fabric's qualities, opt for dry cleaning and follow the manufacturer's care instructions.
