This traditionally styled flat (or driving) cap from Borges & Scott is great for the colder months. It has an Irish tweed (100% wool) outer and quilted cotton lining which makes sure you stay cosy whatever the weather might throw at you! The deep blue herringbone cotton lining is the perfect addition to the tweed outer and reflects the attention to detail given to all Borges & Scott hats.

The slightly lower cut of this Borges & Scott model ensures a great fit and also makes sure the cap stays on, whatever the conditions.

Whether you’re heading out fishing, shooting, golfing or simply exploring the rugged Irish coast, this hat will keep you warm and protected. When seen up close its high quality materials are obviously a cut above the rest.

GENUINE IRISH TWEED: The tweed used in this newsboy (or baker boy) style cap is woven in one of Ireland’s few surviving historic mills – this is the real deal! Tweed has been skilfully woven in this family run mill for over 300 years, so they really know how to make a high quality tweed using specially selected 100% wool yarns. This cap uses a patchwork effect tweed for a unique look.

ELASTICATED COMFORT FIT: This classic flat cap from Borges & Scott has a carefully concealed elastic section in the inner headband. It ensures a secure and snug fit. This also makes this cap great for gifting if you are unsure of the recipients exact size. With a quilted cotton lining the Galway has a comfy feel against your skin.

WATER AND STAIN RESISTANT: The sustainable 100% wool tweed used in the Galway is designed to withstand the worst conditions of the Atlantic coast of Ireland. This cap will shed light rain and snow – keeping you dry and stylish whilst maintaining the natural breathable properties of wool!

EASY CARE and TRAVEL FRIENDLY: This timeless cap can be easily surface cleaned with a clothes brush or damp cloth. Strong and durable it is easily stored or packed. The pre-curved peak ensures your eyes are protected whatever the conditions.

The perfect Irish gift, this premium cap looks good whatever the weather. It will bring a smile to the face of anyone who loves Ireland or who has Irish roots! Check out other models from Borges and Scott such as the Tyrone if you prefer a Newsboy style cap.

If you are not sure what your hat size is, please follow these simple instructions to find your size.

Measure your head at the level you would want the hat to sit at when you are wearing it.  This can vary a little according to your personal preference, but normally it would be across the middle of the forehead, pass a thumb’s width above your ears and around the widest part of the back of your head. 

Use a tape measure or a piece of string to find your size in centimetres.

Once you have the measurement in centimetres, this should be the hat size for you.  You may wish to move up or down one size if you prefer a particularly loose or tight fit.
