This is our children's version of our popular Galway Irish tweed cap. The Galway is one of our traditionally styled flat (or driving) cap and is the staple cap of the stylish gentlemen. Now available in this elasticated children's size (fitting approximately 52-55cm or about 5-9 years old) this sturdy cap will add that touch of class to any outfit!
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.
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.
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.

How to find the right size Panama hat for you
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 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 like a particularly loose or tight fit.
If you know your hat size in a different measuring system, please use the following conversion chart to convert it to our sizing.
