Flat Caps once upon a time were merely the preserve of the English farmer. With possibly the most comprehensive selections available to buy online; it's easy to tell we love Mens Flat Caps at UE.  The flat cap was introduced to the youth scene with the Kangol 504 Flat Cap being worn by LL Cool J on his Sophomore LP cover. He continued to brandish Kangol Flat Caps in his videos and public appearances throughout his, making it the hat an integral part of Hip-Hop culture. In the following decade to come Kangol Caps would cover the heads of such hip hop greats as Slick Rick, Erik B and Rakim, Grand Master Flat and more recently Samuel L Jackson's cap of choice
