The best materials such as merino wool and cashmere from Italy, waxed cotton from England and tweed from Ireland also convinced the royal family: Wigens is a royal court supplier.

Wigéns of Sweden has been manufacturing hats and caps since the company was founded by Oscar Wigén in 1906. At the age of 26 he founded the company "AB Oscar Wigéns", commonly known as Wigéns, in the Swedish town of Tranås. History says 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!

Design your individual sliding cap

The Swedish town of Tranas is now synonymous with the birth of the English sliding cap. Because it was here that the first sliding cap was perfectly handcrafted in 1906. Under the direction of the young and visionary founder Oscar Wigén, only skilled hatters who knew their trade worked, and so word of the quality of these caps spread quickly. Today, the family business is a successful global player. The royal supplier to the court, Wigéns Sweden, has stood for the very best quality for well over 100 years: pure wool and cashmere from Italy, tweed from Ireland and waxed cotton from England are used for flatcaps, balloon caps, berets and newsboy caps. Exclusively, because the Swedes are naturally committed to their great reputation!

Traditional manufacturers of hats and flatcaps such as Kangol from England, Stetson from America or Göttmann from Germany prove, just like Wigéns, that hats with a wide brim or a casual flatcap are important accessories. These hats have long since found their way into society. Whether on the golf course or at a hip-hop event, headwear in hat form or with a slider has become indispensable for men's heads and increasingly also for women's! Herringbone or mottled outer fabrics, check patterns and plain colours, all are offered by the small but fine headwear that has been the trademark of cowboys, foremen or the great Gatsby.

Sliding caps for men are just as difficult to define as sliding caps for women. They can adorn the head in a classically noble way or emphasise a decidedly casual look.

It is interesting to note in how many contexts visors have also acquired historical significance. The classic beret, for example, has no peak and has been known since the 15th century. At that time, the flat headgear was made of the noble materials velvet, felt or lined silk: of course, this headwear was reserved for the educated and higher classes! In the course of time, however, the beret found its way to all classes throughout Europe as fashionable headwear. Now burghers and peasants also wore the chic cap.

The beret then developed into the well-known beret. This in turn was first worn by shepherds in the Pyrenees. Whether on works of art such as those by Rembrandt or in everyday life at the Federal Court of Justice: the flat-brimmed cap has made a career for itself!

Another story is provided by the baker's cap, known as the baker boy. These peaked caps were worn in the early 20th century by newspaper and baker boys in America, but also in Europe. Nowadays, this sports cap is associated with sailors, because its flat peak emphasises a chic look and is also a UV protection against excessive sunlight.

Last but not least, the small but fine slouchy hats from numerous films inspire: they lend charisma, pizzazz or chutzpah to the characters and get their nobility not least from superstars like Robert de Niro or Robert Redfort. Whether with or without earflaps, the English-style sliding cap shows what it's made of in brown, light brown or retro. The men's sliding cap is far from being outdated, on the contrary! Whether made of virgin wool in a herringbone pattern or flowing, elegant linen: Stetson Hatteras, Herringbone and Co. guarantee a casual look with numerous attributes. Whether you come from films, golfing, sailing and driving a convertible, the newspaper scene or the committed intellectual and working-class milieu!

What we want to show you is: you have the choice of how your personal cap should look. In various sizes up to L/XL and XXL, the sports cap can be configured in wonderful fabrics such as check or herringbone as well as in many design variations: so that the sliding cap really fits perfectly, does not pinch and becomes your personal favourite piece on your head! For over 100 years, Wigéns from Sweden has been manufacturing comfortable hats and caps in timeless designs. Benefit from this know-how and exclusive look that will not lose its appeal even after years.
