Bates Hats Gatsby Cap - Abraham Moon Donegal Tweed - Pecan
Description
The Bates Gatsby Cap is a fitted, classic 8-panel button crowned cap constructed out of an Abraham Moon® Melange Donegal Tweed milled in England from 100% British Shetland Wool. Produced by one of the few remaining vertical mills, Moon produces this special tweed with an authentic Kilcarra slub yarn spun in Ireland that is thick and durable, has pronounced texture, a variable palette, and natural elasticity ideal for dissipating the damp and cold weather of the countryside that's also stable in workwear conditions. This natural wool made via old world methods boasting outstanding comfort comes in a peppered plain weave of pecan, espresso, and wheat yarns to create a woolen that has amazing character and depth. The famous Gatsby Cap, also known as the Baker Boy or News Boy Cap, is inspired by turn-of-the-century casual caps worn in both industrial work and leisure activities. The Gatsby has milder proportions while retaining the drape of the originals, allowing for a practical and historic aesthetic. Bates is known for using the finest weather-resistant woolens designed for premium hats, which come fully lined with custom satin acetate and grosgrain interior banding. With modern iterations steeped in English heritage, Bates represents the best of styling, proportion, fabric, and fit for the Original Gentleman.
