Why Fiddler Cap Hats

A fiddler cap, which is also known as a skipper cap, Greek fiserman cap, or Breton cap is a soft, flat-topped cap, with a small visor. Their instantly recognizable silhouette is the feature of sailors and of the everyday man and woman all around the world to this day. While their origins symbolize the sailing world, fashionable consumers today recognize the subtle brilliance these pieces can bring even to a more modern wardrobe. They even come as an extra-large size hat, for the heartiest of fishermen among us.

The fiddler cap was first introduced in the late 19th century in Athens, Greece. The design was then, as it is now, a simple hat with a firm, mostly flat brim coupled with comfortable fabric. Though variations on the style go their separate ways today, traditionally the visor met the body of the hat at a braided cord.

Occasionally, you encounter a piece of clothing or hat so exquisite it can convey you to a distant land, a faraway place. It can make you daydream of vaulted streets along cliffs above the ocean and waterfront walkways lined with cobblestones. Fiddler caps are just that. The wistful visions they invoke are not simply artifacts of the mind; they are some of most sought after hats in the western hemisphere. And they are not suited only for ocean voyages — their intricate designs bring a quiet confidence to any outfit whether on land or at sea.

It was said that John Lennon wore this style cap when the Beatles and other European rock ‘n’ roll acts first crossed the Atlantic and made their way into American popular culture. Other notable world leaders throughout the early 20th century also donned their own versions of the fiddler cap, adding to the style’s legend.

The hat you’re likely considering purchasing as we speak is versatile and friendly to nearly any situation. Wear it to the beach,beach, a music festival, take it with you to your travels abroad. It has been worn by workers, even called a mechanic’s cap at one point, sailors and celebrities alike. Of course, you might be looking for just an everyday piece of apparel, but the fiddler cap hat is still the ideal item for you. Dress up, dress down, lounge or find something a little more formal to do with your evening. No matter, the fiddler cap will be there, ready and waiting, for any adventure.
