Men's British Tweed Shelby Cap

A classic design but enriched by pure wool tweed, our men's British tweed Shelby Cap is the perfect accessory for your country wardrobe.

The eight-piece cap with covered button and the crown free from the peak has a rich heritage, having been a favourite with newspaper sellers, then later adopted by the upper classes, becoming known variously as a newsboy cap, golf hat or driving hat. Handmade in the UK, this hat uses superb British-woven tweed with a satin lining.

About Tweed

Tweed's humble beginnings reach back to the early 19th century when it was first hand-woven in Scotland as warm, durable work wear for crofters. When the nobility of the British Isles stayed in Scotland they adopted tweed, wearing it on their grand Highland estates, particularly for country sports. With traditional designs including checks, herringbones and barleycorns, tweed has become an icon of British and Scottish style.
