About Wigens:

For over 100 years, Wigéns from Sweden has been producing comfortable hats and caps in timeless designs.

Premium materials such as % wool (Merino wool) and cashmere from Italy, waxed cotton from England, and tweed from Ireland have even convinced the royal family: Wigens is a Royal Warrant Holder.

Since its founding in 1906 by Oscar Wigén, Wigéns of Sweden has been producing hats and caps. At the age of 26, he established the company "AB Oscar Wigéns," commonly known as Wigéns, in the small Swedish town of Tranås. History tells us he was a man of strong will, sharp intellect, and impressive energy. He was also known as a perfectionist. Every product had to be absolutely flawless!

A cap full of style.

Are you looking for a truly first-class flat cap?

Then we recommend the Swedish company Wigéns for a custom-made tailored cap. Flat caps for women and men are available in warming wool and cooling linen. And the best part: With a custom-made cap, it doesn’t just fit your head perfectly – you also get exactly the design and material you have in mind! Be inspired by our configurator and discover the many fascinating variations of flat caps from the Royal Warrant Holder in England. 

Configure your handmade flat cap

Flat caps are great accessories for many occasions. They are worn as a fashion statement, protect against sun and wind, can keep your head warm, or simply complete a stylish outfit. Brands like Barts, Stetson Texas, Mayser or Wigéns stand out with outstanding quality when it comes to premium headwear. 

Did you know that, in addition to ready-made models, you can easily design your own English-style flat cap from Oldenburg online using our configurator in just a few steps? Flat caps come in numerous great versions. You choose the model, outer fabric, and lining yourself – and within a few weeks, you’ll be holding your individual cap in your hands! 

Design your individual flat cap

The Swedish town of Tranås is considered the birthplace of the English-style flat cap. It was here, in 1906, that the first flat cap was made in perfect craftsmanship. Under the leadership of the young and visionary founder Oscar Wigén, only trained hat makers worked at Wigéns – masters of their craft. Word of the quality of these caps quickly spread. Today, the family business is a successful global player. The Royal Warrant Holder Wigéns Sweden has stood for top quality for over 100 years: pure wool and cashmere from Italy, tweed from Ireland, and waxed cotton from England are exclusively used for flat caps, balloon caps, berets, and newsboy caps. The Swedes know they must live up to their great reputation!

Traditional hat and flat cap manufacturers such as Kangol from England, Stetson from America, or Göttmann from Germany prove, just like Wigéns, that wide-brimmed hats or a casual flat cap are essential accessories. They have long since found their way into society. Whether on the golf course or at a hip-hop event: Headwear, whether a hat or a flat cap, has become indispensable for men and increasingly for women! Herringbone or mottled fabrics, checks, and solid colors – these small but fine accessories offer it all. Once worn by cowboys, workers, or even the great Gatsby.

Flat caps for men can no more be pinned down than flat caps for women. They can adorn the head in a classically elegant way or emphasize a decidedly casual look. 

It is fascinating to see how many historical contexts flat caps became significant in. The classic beret, for example, has no brim and has been known since the 15th century. At that time, the flat headgear was made from noble materials such as velvet, felt, or lined silk: of course, it was reserved for educated and higher social classes! Over time, the beret became fashionable headwear throughout Europe for all classes. Soon, citizens and farmers also wore this chic cap.

The well-known beret then evolved from the traditional flat cap. Initially worn by shepherds in the Pyrenees, it later appeared in artworks such as those by Rembrandt, and even in everyday life at the Supreme Court. The cap with the flat crown has truly made a career!

Another story comes from the baker’s cap, also known as the Bakerboy. These peaked caps were worn in the early 20th century by newspaper and baker boys in America and Europe alike. Today, this sporty cap is associated with sailors, as its flat brim underlines a chic look while also offering UV protection against excessive sunlight.

And of course, the small but fine flat caps have appeared in numerous films: they give characters charisma, wit, and cheek, and gained prestige thanks to superstars like Robert De Niro or Robert Redford. Whether with or without earflaps, the English-style flat cap in brown, light brown, or retro shows just what it can do. The men’s flat cap is far from outdated – on the contrary! Whether in wool with herringbone pattern or flowing, elegant linen: Stetson Hatteras, Herringbone and others guarantee a casual look with countless attributes. Whether you’re inspired by movies, golf, sailing, driving a convertible, the newspaper scene, or the intellectual and working-class milieus! 

What we want to show you is: you have the choice of how your personal cap should look. Available in various sizes up to L/XL and XXL, the flat cap can be configured in beautiful fabrics such as checks or herringbone, as well as in many design variants: ensuring the cap fits perfectly, doesn’t pinch, and becomes your personal favorite accessory! For over 100 years, Wigéns of Sweden has been making comfortable hats and caps in timeless designs. Benefit from this know-how and exclusive aesthetics, which remain attractive for years to come.
