Clapdale Wool Traceable Dalesbred Flat Cap

A traditional flat cap manufactured in the North of England from Glencroft’s own Clapdale Wool, Dalesbred breed tweed.

The Dalesbred breed wool in this cap has gone no further than 55 miles from the sheep it was sheared from, to the yarn spinners, to the mill the cloth was woven in and finally to the factory where we cut and manufactured the caps.

Clapdale Wool is manufactured exclusively by Glencroft from fleeces collected from farms within ten miles of our warehouse in Clapham, Yorkshire Dales. Farmers are paid a decent price for their clip and in addition a share of the profits from everything made from this wool, including this cap, will also go back to the farms.

*Contains a blend of Dalesbred and Cheviot wool. We originally wanted a 100% Dalesbred tweed but we found the fibre of this mountain sheep breed would have been too thick on its own to go through the weaving machines. We therefore had to source a finer wool to blend it with.
