The Skipper Cap is available in a selection of authentic Irish Tweeds. For a traditional look opt for the deep navy or black cosy wools, or for an Irish twist, opt for a Salt and Pepper tweed with lively colourful flecks.

I was originally looking for a newsboy cap but when I saw this I thought it was a better choice. Love the color and the XXL is a perfect fit for my big head. Thanks for making a beautiful product!

I love my Hanna Skipper cap. I expected it to be a premium product, and it is. The sizing guide was really helpful and it is a thing of great beauty. Donegal craft at its worlds best! Thank you/Go raibh maith agat.

I like this hat immensely. Similar type hats often use a plastic band for structure. This cap headband is fabric. Instantly comfortable and nicely warm for the winter here in Maine. Measure your head size precisely as this is a fitted cap. I will buy another color soon. I highly recommend these folks!!!!
Store owner replied: Hi Anthony, thank you for your review. We're delighted to hear you're happy with your Skipper Cap Tweed. We're so glad to hear you found your cap comfortable as soon as you put it on. Thank you very much for your kind words and support, Anthony, we really appreciate it.
I always loved this particular cap style. However I wasn’t a fan of the overly decorated looks of the classic Greek fisherman hat. This type is exactly what I was looking for… stylish in a simple way. Pay attention to the hat sizing and you should be fine. I also appreciate the fact the sweatband is made of fabric and not plastic like most others.
Store owner replied: Hi Anthony, thank you for your review. We're so delighted our Skipper Cap Tweed is exactly what you were looking for. We're glad to hear you were happy with our sweatband. Thank you for your support, Anthony.
It was quite a bit larger than XL (more like XXL) but I put a couple stitches in back and fits fine now.
Store owner replied: Hi Terry, thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear your cap was a bit big for you, we're glad to hear it fits better now. Your Skipper Cap Tweed looks great on you, we hope you enjoy wearing it. Please let us know if you need any help with sizing in the future. Thank you for your support.
Not my first cap from Hanna Hats. Fully satisfied, as always. Excellent quality, beautiful design. I may have a new favourite. Thank you.
Store owner replied: Hi Ralf, thank you for your review. We're delighted to hear you're happy with the design and quality of your Skipper Cap Tweed. We hope you enjoy wearing it. Thank you for your continued support, Ralf, we really appreciate it.

My husband Steve is delighted with his hat, I will sent exact measurements of his head next time as I just went with the large, 100% my fault, thanks for a great product, as you can see it takes a lot to put a smile on my husband's face but believe me he's happy in these photos. 😀

If you need any help with sizing in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you for your support, Margaret.
I love this Irish tweed skipper cap. But I love retro clothing in general. This cap reminds me of what the labor class men wore in the film TITANIC. It's practical, not especially of the wealthy classes, but it looks good. I could wear it with a tweed blazer, sweater and Jean's or slacks. By today's standards, it could be considered dress casual.
Store owner replied: Hi David, thank you for your review. We're delighted to hear you love your Skipper Cap Tweed. Thank you for your support.
Terrific hat that feels so good to wear!
This is my replacement hat for my first. I now have 9th hat I now have 7 harringbone hats and 2 Tweed. Great hats get compliment all the time. There just no hat but a Hanna hat.
Beautiful colour and pretty cool take on the fisherman style caps around these days. Very happy with the customer service and quality!
A fantastic St. Paddy's Day with my band and my skipper cap from Hanna!
I’ve been wearing Hanna Hats for almost 30 years and it has been three decades of getting compliments. A Hanna Hat has become part of my identity and I’m thankful for that. There is no better hat that embodies Ireland and the Wild Atlantic Way than these.
I love my Skipper's cap! Aidan
It's a lovely cosy natural feel,
Love my 'petje'!
This is my sixth cap and all the same design but different colours. I have been wearing Hanna Hats for the last twelve years i would not wear any other kind of hat now. Great company to deal with would recommend them to anyone. Regards P.J. Nolan Carlow
Over the years, I have bought and enjoyed your hats. We suffered a serious health issue and lost everything and only now have begun the trip back from destitution. One of the first replacements was my signature Captains cap, that has been a trademark of mine for the past 20 years. Feels great on and looks great.
Very nice cap. I would have liked Irish Tweed but misread product details. It's getting plenty of use & lots of comments.
I was so excited to receive my hat and it has hardly left my head since the day it arrived; I know I will continue to be happy with it and I really appreciate the attentive quality of the design and making. Thank You.
Love your product and appreciate the hand written thank you on the invoice!
I have worn this cap daily when I have gone out, although limited amount of time due to the pandemic. It is comfortable enough that I forget it is on my head! I have several cap from Hanna and now I have problems knowing which to wear!
It is the first thing I put on in the morning and the last thing I take off at night. I have been wearing Hanna hats for 15 years now. The last two years it has been the captain’s hat. I bought my first one in Port Townsend Washington, USA, and the second one from the wonderful folks at Hanna Hats. The first one is now at the dry cleaners.
As a lifelong Great Lakes sailor, I appreciate the style and history of the Skipper hat. The expert craftsmanship of Hanna Hats is second to none.
Has a comfortable fit of a tailor made hat.
I had a Hannah hat which I sadly lost so was delighted that I could replace it so quickly- and will look after this one very carefully. Thank you.
My dad ordered this for me. Great hat!
Great line of caps! Bought one previously in Victoria, Canada that was black/grey tweed with a long bill. Love both!
I never thought of myself as liking this style of tweed cap. However, I was getting ready for a trip and saw the link for the site from a friend of mine and decided I needed a new hat. Going with something I didnt have I went with the fisherman and love it. Thanks Hanna!
Bonjour, Je suis très heureux d'avoir cette nouvelle casquette (l'année dernière j'avais déjà commandé une Eight Piece Cap Tweed). La qualité est au rendez-vous et je la conseille. La livraison fut également très rapide. Vraiment très satisfait de cette dernière commande. Bonne continuation. Et puis si un jour je venais en Irlande, je n'hésiterai pas à vous rendre une petite visite. J'aimerai tellement connaître le Donegal. Très cordialement. Jean-Pierre. TOULOUSE FRANCE
The black skipper's cap was for my daughter, and she loves it (and all things black!). Sadly, she does not like having her picture taken! So the attached is me. We were sold on them after I acquired my first one a few weeks ago at an Irish shop in Newcastle, just west of Port Hope. A friend had taken over the shop, and among the stock items was the cap I'm wearing in the photo. They had another large in a greenish-olive herringbone, and I got that one last week. They are comfortable, warm, and, best of all, a lovely break from the ubiquitous baseball cap!
Love all of my Hanna caps! Can't leave the house without them. John provides superb service and extremely patient. Hope you will bring in more new wool fabric colours and styles! Wished you have XS sizes for smaller women like me.
