City Sport ivy flatcap Donegal tweed blue tartan

Description

The Ivy flat cap is one of the slimmest shapes in our collection. If you prefer not to wear a wide-brimmed cap, this is the shape for you. This version is made from Donegal tweed, a classic fabric made mainly from virgin wool. It has a striking check pattern on a mottled blue base, with a clearly visible twill weave that gives the fabric texture and depth.

This fabric comes from County Donegal in Ireland, where the rugged climate called for warm, sturdy clothing. The distinctive flecked effect reflects the Irish landscape, and the colours were traditionally made with natural dyes from plants and berries. You can see that here too: calm at first glance, but full of subtle colour nuances up close.

The check is finely finished in warm tones that pair beautifully with the blue. This makes it a cap with character that’s still easy to combine. A warm, natural fabric that’s perfect to wear through autumn and winter.

This cap comes from the workshop of City Sport, a Belgian atelier that still produces in Belgium today. At Harbor of Men, we choose the fabric, colour and shape ourselves. So you don’t get a standard, mass-produced cap, but one we’ve deliberately had made for our collection.
