Walker & Hawkes Wax 6 Panel Bernard Duckbill Cap

The Bernard Wax Cap by Walker & Hawkes is a vintage styled cap which will keep your head dry from rain. The Bernard Cap is designed to keep your head warm and dry during harsh weather conditions. The solid fit protects your head from cold winds, while the waxed cotton shell keeps rain bouncing off the hat. It is still suitable for warmer weather due to the stiffened peak which helps keep the Sun out of your eyes.

Duckbill Caps are similar to Flat Caps in that they both have stiffened, small peaks. The Duckbill Cap differs by being slightly more rounded and slopes down towards the front, like a Duck’s bill (hence the name). Also they usually have panels at the top joined in the centre – similar to a Baker Boy Cap but without the button. Also known as Ivy Caps, they were first popularised by the general public because of its functionality and warmth. Upper-class men then embraced the style – using it for its undeniable style, and functionality for sport hunting and shooting.

We wanted to ensure our Bernard Cap was made to the highest quality possible. The Bernard Wax Cap is made using British Millerain Waxed Cotton. They have been developing fabrics for over 140 years in the UK and have stuck by their values – to create fabrics ‘which would suit a variety of clothing requirements, from the rigours of life in the armed forces to the demands of country pursuits’. British Millerain fabric was actually used by troops due to its durability and weather-resistance.
