BURBERRYS of LONDON Plaid Nova Check Heritage Wool Flat Cap Newsboy Hat
Authentic vintage Burberrys of London flat cap featuring the house’s iconic camel, black, ivory and red heritage plaid. A fantastic old-school Burberry accessory with the highly collectible “Burberrys” branding used before the fashion house transitioned to the modern Burberry name.
This cap has a classic British flat cap / ivy cap / driving cap silhouette with a softly structured paneled crown and short brim. The timeless check gives it the unmistakable vintage Burberry look that works beautifully with today’s heritage, quiet-luxury, old-money and vintage designer styling.
Especially nice vintage details include the original dark navy “Burberrys of London” woven label, warm peach/copper satin interior lining, traditional interior finishing and small brown grosgrain bow detail. The older construction and labeling give this piece considerably more character than a contemporary reproduction of the look.

GREAT CONDITION besides numerous very tiny holes throughout the exterior fabric that appear consistent with moth damage from storage.
