Mens Bowler Hat - Derby & Western Styles

This iconic black bowler hat known in the USA as a derby hat was created in the mid-1800’s in Britain. It was made to solve the problem of top hats being too fragile and always getting knocked off by low hanging branches while on horseback.  The English bowler hat soon made its way across the pond and became the most popular style in the American West for the same reason, it didn’t blow off your head easily while riding fast of horseback.

Best flat cap in existence

I bought this hat from a random haberdasher shop in Carmel, CA back in 2014. I loved this hat for years then I lost it for 3 years. Then I found it in some old storage. Since then, I’ve worn it constantly at work as my hairline just isn’t what it used to be. When I say best flatcap in existence, I mean it.

Not a tear, not a rip, or a serious blemish. I haven’t washed it because I don’t want to ruin it. Doesn’t stink or anything either.

It boggles my mind how awesome this hat is. It’s my favorite non-snapback/baseball hat.

Buy this hat. Just do it if you love flatcaps and want the Winner’s Cup. Do it.

This is absolutely beautiful. Very well made. I ordered a small for my husband and it’s still a tad big, he has a small head and is bald. It came with 2 hat sizers. I contacted customer service, they will send 2 more. It should be perfect. I highly recommend this company.
