Hadham - Heritage Panel Houndstooth

Hadham Heritage 8-Panel Houndstooth

Merino Wool Houndstooth | Made in England

Product Description

Introducing the Christys’ London 1773 “Hadham” Heritage 8-Panel Cap, a refined expression of British craftsmanship, woven from premium Merino wool by Abraham Moon & Sons, one of Yorkshire’s most esteemed cloth mills.

Cut in our signature Heritage 8-panel (baker boy) silhouette, the Hadham is defined by its classic houndstooth pattern, a timeless motif long associated with British country style and understated sophistication. The use of fine Merino wool ensures a soft yet structured handle, delivering warmth, breathability, and durability in equal measure.

The name Hadham draws inspiration from the historic Hertfordshire villages of Much Hadham and Little Hadham, close to our modern workshop, rooting this cap not only in British design tradition, but in the very landscape where it is crafted. The result is a piece that feels both authentic and enduring, embodying over 250 years of Christys’ heritage.

Each cap is hand-finished in England, combining traditional block shaping with contemporary precision to create a fuller crown, gentle drape, and a perfectly balanced profile. Whether styled with tailoring or dressed down with outerwear, the Hadham offers a confident, versatile statement.
