Caps and hats, they save us all. The mums who worry about their children burning can feel good and relax as they put a Walker and Hawkes flat cap or baseball cap on their child. Pick up a boys’ flat cap for your little country gent when he joins you for a day of fishing, or for the little ladies - one of our girls’ flat caps for that next country picnic! Opt for an especially country feel with a children’s tweed flat cap. Going on holiday? - grab a navy blue baseball cap for extra protection from the sun, don’t be one of the many pink Brits in Ayia Napa! Trust me, there are a lot!
What about the little ones? Don’t you worry, your little toddler will look adorable in a toddlers’ flat cap - but before you grab babies bonnet - did you know that you can also buy a baby flat cap? And with a super soft fabric, it will help your precious babes skin stay soft and unscathed. What about the parents? We certainly have not forgot you! Papa, get the men’s tweed flat cap and mama, grab yourself a tweed flat cap for women and match your kids’ hats, how cute would that be! We, of course, love tweed, as many Brit do, but if you’d rather go for a more neutral look, navy blue, olive green or brown are lovely colours and will blend in perfectly with nature. The kids excitement and screaming may, unfortunately, scare away the birds during your bird watching tour, but at least their hats won’t be suspect.
