The 350 Gill & Whitebridge Caps

2 min read

As part of our 350th anniversary collection, we are proud to
celebrate two of our most loved and iconic cap styles: The Gill Flat Cap and The Whitebridge Bakerboy Cap.

Versatile, unisex and timeless, both designs are defined by clean, classic lines combined with a flattering fit that complements any outfit. Effortlessly styled for town or country, they bring a quiet confidence to everyday dressing, a balance of heritage and modernity that feels as relevant now as ever.

Reflecting on their place within the collection, our Buying Team shared:

“We introduced these caps into our 350th collection as a tribute to heritage and craftsmanship, a modern interpretation of timeless headwear that honours our history while speaking confidently to today’s style.
Our classic Gill Flat Cap is crafted from a charming vintage Donegal tweed and
reflects our deep respect for traditional fabrics and enduring quality. Alongside it, we included the Whitebridge Bakerboy Cap in a rich brown and beige tweed, elevated with a beautiful seafoam check, a fresh yet timeless addition.
Together, they represent continuity, character, and the enduring spirit that
has defined us for 350 years.”
