Flat Cap - Donegal Touring Cap Patchwork Linen - Blue & Grey
The Donegal Touring Cap is a streamlined, tailored fit cap ideal for those who prefer a slimmer silhouette. The style sports an integrated, stitched-down curved peak and a deep back for a secure fit.
This style is inspired by the long-ago common sight of men riding their bikes whilst going on social and work errands. Whereas we do not recommend our Donegal Touring cap for cycling these days, it is ideal for keeping the sun from your eyes and keeping your head dry as you go for walks, run errands, and take leisurely drives.
Ideal for warmer days each piece is crafted using authentic, high-quality Irish linens in a contemporary combination of grey and blue tones, expertly stitched together using the ancient craft of quilting. Historically, quilted fabric was made from the salvageable parts of old clothing or blankets which were recycled to create a new patchwork fabric.
Please note that as each patchwork cap is unique it will vary from the photograph.
Linen, which is made from the flax plant recognized by its “wee blue blossom”, has a long history in Ireland stretching back to the 1st millennium, and it was one of the main industries during the plantation of Ulster from the 1600’s. There are only a handful of mills producing Irish Linen today, and we are proud to support this ancient industry.
At Hanna Hats they use the highest quality linens to create our patchworks, and often cut patches from irregular shapes which are a by-product of our production, adding additional sustainability credentials to this eco-friendly cloth. Just like the head that wears this cap, each one is totally unique!
