                         A vintage style Peaky Blinders cap, made of genuine Harris Tweed (100% wool). Harris Tweed cloths are second to none among all wool fabrics. The visor with a shape memory is sewn down to the large 8 panels crown with a crown's diameter of ca. 25cm. On the top of the crown there is a small decorative button. Cap is lined with a breathable cotton and has a cotton sweatband inside.

This model of cap is inspired by the English gang Peaky Blinders. Members of Peaky Blinders gang wore very similar caps, at the end of the 19th century, in Birmingham. After John Douglas's novel, A Walk Down Summer Lane, arised a myth about razor blades hidden between visor and crown of their caps. Those sharp razor blades were supposed to be used as a weapon, causing wounds or blindness of their victims.
