Why is it called a sixpence?
One sixpenceThe sixpence hat is named after the way it is constructed. The hat is traditionally sewn together from six triangular pieces of fabric, giving it its characteristic, flat shape. This sewing technique makes the hat both robust and comfortable to wear. The flat design has made the sixpence popular for decades, as it is suitable for both casual and more formal occasions. The combination of the unique construction and its historical roots makes the sixpence a timeless part of men's fashion.
Flat cap vs. sixpence – what's the difference?
Many people confuse a flat cap and a sixpence, as they are very similar to each other. However, the difference lies in small details.

However, both hats are versatile and can be used for both formal and casual occasions. At The Prince you will find a wide selection of both sixpence hats and flat caps to suit every taste and style.
