The baker boy cap—or the “eight-panel” cap—is more than just a trend; it is a piece of living history. From its origins in the early 20th century to its modern-day resurgence on the streets of London, this hat has proven that some designs simply never go out of style. At The Cotton London, we believe in pieces that offer both utility and elegance. That is why we are proud to introduce our latest accessory: The Tweed Baker Boy Hat. Crafted in Britain, For the World We’ve stayed true to the traditional construction of this iconic hat. Using 100% pure British wool, each cap is designed to provide the natural warmth and breathability that only high-quality wool can offer. It’s an ideal companion for crisp mornings and cold commutes. A Structured Silhouette What sets our version apart is the attention to detail. We’ve utilized a stitched-down peak to ensure the hat keeps its structured, dapper shape whether you are wearing it on a windy day or storing it away. The eight-panel design offers a fuller, more traditional aesthetic than a standard flat cap, providing that touch of vintage-inspired character that elevates a simple jumper or a tailored overcoat. How to Style It The beauty of the baker boy hat lies in its versatility. Pair it with one of our wool jumpers for a relaxed weekend look, or use it to contrast with a formal shirt and tailored trousers. It is the bridge between casual comfort and sophisticated dressing. Care Tip: To keep your hat in peak condition, remember that it is wipe-clean only. Store it in a cool, dry place to maintain its structure for years to come.

Shearling, as can be understood from the name, is the skin of the sheep, and the things made out of the same such as shearling sheepskin slippers, boots, gloves, coats, etc., are shearling products. Owing to the wide array of benefits offered by shearling, the items made from shearling are in great demand and extremely popular among people. However, the shearling items happen to be costly in nature as compared to similar others, but the price paid for these items is completely worth it. Moreover, the shearling sheepskin items are durable in nature and hence last for a duration of time. So, it can be considered as a one-time investment. Now, let us delve a bit deeper into the topic to get an idea about the history of the industry in Somerset. A Brief on Sheep Farming Sheep were one of the first animals to be domesticated, which started about 12000 years ago. The beginning of the wool trade is believed to have occurred around 9,000 BC in the Middle East. Moreover, there is archaeological evidence of the existence of the first settlement in that place. Over the next 2000 years, sheep are expected to have been traded and sold across the whole of Europe with the expansion and development of civilizations. No clear evidence is available to show when the first sheep arrived in Britain or even Somerset. However, it is believed that around the time when Glastonbury Abbey was starting to gain significance throughout the country, there was a tannery built. Although there is no physical evidence of this tannery, at the time when you look in Glastonbury, England, there are a number of mill streams. This, in turn, gives an indication that any one of these mills could have been used as part of the tannery. Increase in Wool Trade The wool trade continued over the next 2 centuries with a significant increase. The wool trade expanded on such a scale that it became the biggest export and boosted the economy almost three times. The tanneries were in use in Somerset. There was an abbey tannery of the 12th Century located in Old Cleve near Minehead, and it operated until the 1980s. The wool would then be exported via Bridgewater docks to either Cardiff or Bristol to do their trading. Birth of shearling Slippers The next major occurrence in the Somerset shearling industry was the opening of a tannery by Arthur Clothier on the outskirts of Glastonbury, Somerset. The tannery was built on one of the mill streams that is expected to have previously belonged to the Abbey. Sometime later, Arthur Clothier appointed an apprentice Cyrus Clark who in 15 years opened a factory in the Street that became one of the biggest shoe factories in England, UK. Cyrus Clark then began manufacturing rugs, and sometime later, his brother James joined him. Later, James began using the short wool skins that were not sufficient to make rugs to make slippers. It is exactly where shearling slippers came into existence.This new idea made the brothers famous after James went touring with the slippers. The skippers made from shearling gained a lot of popularity and became quite famous. Two years later, in 1851, shearling slippers produced 21000 pounds in comparison to only 7000 pounds from the shearling rugs. Later at the time when John Morland, son-in-law of James, became part of the family in 1870, he helped to bring about a separation of shoemaking from shearling tannery and manufacturing unit. Then he brought a factory in Glastonbury, Somerset, which could be the same one that Arthur Clothier owned, but clear information is not available on this. John Morland believed that the site in Glastonbury was suitable for tanning shearling because of water source was readily available. See more the history of sheepskin and its interesting facts Slowly and steadily, shearling slippers, as well as other shearling sheepskin products, gained a lot of popularity over the years and today, shearling products are very much preferred among the users.

Purchasing shearling footwear involves participating in a clothing tradition as old as human civilization. Shearling footwear are a perfect balance between indoor and outdoor slippers, giving us the comfort of a house slipper while still being durable enough for outdoor wear. Do you know? After just a few months of use, ordinary synthetic footwear shows signs of wear and tear. Only a few designs offer good comfort, while others leave you with bites and blisters...enough to put you off such varieties for good. What’s the alternative? Five awesome qualities about shearling that you never knew Have you ever come across a footwear variety that has five distinct qualities about it? - Certainly not with synthetic footwear. You can only find them in genuine shearling slippers. Here is a look at these qualities which sets them apart from others. Durable & Long-Lasting - A pair will last for years together. Water-resistant - Has the ability to absorb one-third of its weight in water. Anti-bacterial - It has lanolin which fights bacteria thus keeping feet skin healthy and preventing blisters. Keeps feet warm - It is lined with wool and has a tanned outer surface - qualities that keep the feet warm even when the temperature outside is 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Made the traditional way - It is manufactured through a rigorous tanning process which gives it a soft yet strong outer skin. Very Stylish Shearling sheepskin is ‘the footwear’ for the fashion-conscious, because of its amazing range of designs and colors. You can find a model available for every preference – short shearling boots, shearling slippers, tall boots with or without cuffs, sandals, wedges etc. All that’s the rage in footwear fashion is available in shearling and more? If you want to look stylish for a party or else sport a formal office look, shearling footwear has styles to suit all your moods and needs. How to find the right pair? If you want maximum coverage for your feet, opt for tall shearling boots. On the other hand, if you feel the need for more freedom, look into clogs and slippers. Their design may expose a part of your outer feet but they have inner shearling layers to keep the feet warm. Some Important Tips Apply sealant over your pair to protect it from dirt. Do not dry clean them or put them in the washer or dryer. Buy the exact fit as once you start using them, the footwear will get loose since shearling has stretching quality. Store them in a shady area to allow for natural airflow so that they dry naturally. Genuine shearling is water-resistant but not waterproof. It is to be noted that shearling is a natural material, strong, lightweight, and soft. Footwear made from it gives maximum comfort, even when used for long hours.
