A flat cap is a rounded cap with a small stiff brim in front, originating in the British Isles. The hat is known in Ireland simply as a cap, in Scotland as a bunnet, in Wales as a Dai cap, in New Zealand as a cheese-cutter, and in the United States as a golf cap.
What are the hats called that are flat?
The flat cap goes by many other names as well – Ivy cap, Gatsby, driving cap, sixpence, duckbill, and paddy to name a few. Despite what you call it, the flat cap is easier to pull off than a fedora and looks better with a suit than a snapback.
What is the point of flat caps?
Supposedly, the flat cap first became popular after a short-lived law passed in England in 1571 that obliged everyone to wear a woollen hat to boost the wool trade, which does perhaps explain its utilitarian form.
