Brixton HOOLIGAN Plaid Driver Cap

Below is Brixton's Hooligan Driver's Cap in wool. This cap sports a clean silhouette, fully tailored details, and all around value. This piece is made with Tartan Plaid in black, khaki and red color combinations. A hidden snap attaches the crown to visor. Inside the crown is a satin lining with a black satin sweatband.
