Duck Cap | CO/PES

Duckbill flat cap in distressed finish cotton

Flat caps come in a whole host of different variants, from your pizza-sized baker boys to sporty little linen ones but this duck cap from Stetson is something a little bit different. It’s got a sleek profile and a lovely swoop to the curved duckbill, which manages to make it kind of vintage and kind of modern at the same time. The durable polycotton blend has a distressed finish that looks worn-in right out of the box, and we reckon it would look fantastic accessorised with a narrowboat and a whippet.

• Jacuzzi, Jetski, Hoover, Stetson When a brand name gets to be shorthand for the product itself, you know its achieved icon status. Since John B Stetson began selling his famous Boss of the Plains hat in 1865, everyone whos anyone has topped themselves off with a Stetson.

  Take the famous Ten-Gallon Hat made famous by silver screen star Tom Mix or the Skyline model worn by Kevin Costner in TVs Yellowstone. President Lyndon B Johnsons distinctive Open Road became so entwined with his public persona that its still sometimes called an LBJ, and rumour has it that Colonel Custer rode to his doom at Little Big Horn in a Stetson.

  For 160 years, Stetson hats have been emblems of their era. Post-war ad men cut deals in their Stratoliner fedoras, jazz cats and members of the Rat Pack sported a Whippet trilby tipped back on their head, and pictures of Lee Harvey Oswalds assassination show rangy US Marshals all wearing their Open Roads..

  As hat-wearing tastes have changed, Stetson have moved with the times. Sure, they still do the classic fedoras and cattleman crowns, but their modern range includes everything from trappers and truckers to beanies and ball caps all manufactured in accordance with John B Stetsons motto, none but sterling quality.
