Hadham - King’s Flat Houndstooth

Hadham King’s Flat Houndstooth

Merino Wool Houndstooth | Contemporary Long Silhouette | Made in England

Product Description

The Christys’ London 1773 “Hadham” King’s Flat Cap is a refined evolution of the traditional British flat cap, crafted from luxurious Merino wool houndstooth cloth by Abraham Moon & Sons.

Designed in our distinctive King’s Flat Cap silhouette, this style features a longer, more streamlined profile, offering a contemporary interpretation of a heritage classic. The extended shape creates a sharper, more tailored line compared to traditional flat caps—making it particularly suited to modern styling while retaining its British roots.

The houndstooth pattern, synonymous with classic country dress and contemporary elegance, is elevated here through the use of fine Merino wool, delivering exceptional softness, natural warmth, and breathable comfort.

Named Hadham after the historic Hertfordshire villages near our workshop, this cap is deeply rooted in the landscape and craftsmanship of England. Each piece is hand-finished in England, reflecting the enduring legacy of Christys’ London since 1773.

The King’s Flat Cap - A Modern Heritage Silhouette

· A longer, more elongated crown for a sleek profile

· A closer fit to the head, creating a sharper, contemporary look

This makes it ideal for those seeking a more structured and modern alternative to fuller cap styles.
