Product Details

Keep every hat you own in perfect shape.

Most men spend good money on a proper hat, then leave it sitting flat on a shelf — slowly losing its shape, its structure, and its character.

The Farnell Hat Stretcher is the simple fix. Crafted from solid wood, it fits inside any flat cap or newsboy cap and holds the crown perfectly open between wears. No sagging, no creasing, no brim distortion. Just a hat that looks as good on day 500 as it did on day one.

One stretcher. Every hat you'll ever own.

The adjustable design fits all sizes — from a fitted S right through to an XL. Slide it in, turn the pin, and let the wood do the rest.

What's included:

  • 1 × Farnell Hat Stretcher, solid wood construction
  • Fits all flat caps and newsboy caps, all sizes

"A good hat deserves to be kept right. This is how you do it." — Arthur Farnell, Founder

Care Guide

A light sweep with a soft brush keeps fabric fresh and free of dust. For spots, use a damp cloth with mild soap and let the cap dry naturally — never with heat.

When not in use, place your cap on a stretcher or store it in a proper case to preserve its shape and colour. Always handle by the brim to protect the crown.

For more details, see our care guide.

"I've been looking for a proper flat cap for years. Everything I found online was either cheap rubbish or ridiculously overpriced. This one is exactly right, the wool is thick, the fit is snug without being tight, and it sits flat the way a cap should."

"I'm 70 and I'd been wearing the same style of baseball cap since I was 44. My wife had been on at me for months to try something different. She bought me this and I'll be honest, I was sceptical. Put it on once and I haven't gone back."

"I was so tired of looking at his ratty old baseball cap. I bought my man this for his birthday and he was skeptical at first, but the moment he put it on he loved it. It completely changes his look. He looks so handsome and put-together now!"

"I've bought from a few others, and they always sit way too high on my head. This Farnell cap fits perfectly flush. The wool feels incredibly premium. Wore it to the pub last night and got two compliments within an hour."

"I accidentally ordered a different color then I would like. I emailed them expecting a huge hassle. Arthur replied in 20 minutes and shipped out the the brown one the same day with a return label for the old one. No restocking fee. You have a customer for life."

"My grandad wore a cap just like this. The materials are honest, the stitching is solid, and it keeps the rain off. Exactly what a flat cap should be."

The Farnell Difference

Make Every Outfit Stand Out.

You don't need a three-piece suit to look put together. The right cap elevates a simple t-shirt and jeans, adds character to a winter coat, and gives you that quiet, commanding presence the moment you walk into a room. It's the easiest upgrade a man can make to his daily wardrobe.

Arthur Farnell
MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER
Why I Built This Cap.
"I got tired of buying 'heritage' caps online only to receive stiff, cheap polyester hats that made my head look like a mushroom. Worse, when I tried to return them, the big brands charged me an $8 restocking fee. I built Farnell Hat Co. to be the antidote to that. We make honest caps with honest materials. And if it doesn't fit you perfectly right out of the box, I will personally exchange it for free. No fees, no BS. Just a good hat for a good man."
Arthur Farnell
Founder of Farnell Hat Co.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know what size to get?
Grab a soft measuring tape and measure around your head, about an inch above your eyebrows. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up. And remember, if you get it wrong, our Perfect Fit Guarantee means we'll exchange it for free!
Will this make my head sweat?
No. Unlike cheap competitor caps made of 85% polyester, our caps use a breathable 50/50 Wool and Cotton blend with a moisture-wicking inner band. It keeps you warm in the winter but breathes in the spring.
How do I clean my cap?
Spot clean only. Use a damp cloth with mild soap and gently dab any stains. Never put it in the washing machine or dryer, as it will ruin the tailored shape.
How fast is shipping?
All orders ship within 1-3 business days from our warehouse. Standard shipping takes 5-8 business days.
What if my cap doesn't fit?
Email us and we will send you a new size immediately — free of charge, no restocking fee, no questions asked. That's the Perfect Fit Guarantee.
What materials are your caps made from?
This depends on the type of cap you are buying. For most caps we use a 50% Premium Wool and 50% Breathable Cotton blend. We always tell you exactly what's in your cap — no hiding behind vague descriptions or fake heritage.
