Donegal tweed is recognized by its flecks - small knots of contrasting colored yarn woven deliberately into a plainer ground, originally the colors of the local landscape. Hanna Hats builds its hats and caps from that tradition in Donegal Town, where the firm began as bespoke tailors in 1924, so its caps are cut with a tailor's understanding of how cloth should sit and match - the same house sells the waistcoats and body warmers a tweed cap is worn with. A tweed cap's pattern scale matters: bold flecks and checks suit casual country wear, while quiet, fine tweeds pass with town jackets.
Tweed caps and hats are cool-to-cold weather wear: the woven wool sheds light rain, insulates without overheating and shrugs off brush and travel. Flat caps, newsboy shapes and brimmed tweed hats all appear in this category - Bates, the London hatter listed here, is the town end of the same tradition. Brush tweed with a clothes brush after wear, spot clean rather than washing, and let a rain-soaked cap dry slowly in shape away from radiators, since heat shrinks wool and distorts the peak. Stored dry with cedar or lavender, tweed stays fresh for decades.
