Ivy Caps
Because of its popularity, the Ivy cap goes by many different names. Some call it the English driving cap, others call it the flat cap. However, the term flat cap, while often used to describe an ivy cap, is also used by some while referring to newsboy and pub caps. The ivy cap is constructed with a single top panel of fabric and a tailored side seam. The front of the cap features a short peak. The caps are made from a variety of materials ranging from cotton and wool to thicker materials like leather or suede. Depending on the styling and materials these versatile caps can either be worn casually or formally. For more information about the history of caps see the Caps section of the glossary.
