Lanificio Angelico: Specialists since the 1950s

People know Lanificio Angelico for its creativity and innovation. They pay close attention to detail, which helps us make the best linen caps.

After years of working together, we recently strengthened our partnership. We collaborated closely with their R&D team to create custom colors for our Summer collection. This teamwork enabled us to fine-tune the colors down to each fiber, bringing us one step closer to the perfect summer cap.

Loro Piana: Purveyors of luxury

For more than 200 years, Loro Piana has built a strong reputation for quality. They do this by sourcing the finest and rarest raw materials in the world.

Words are hard to find to describe the incredible softness of Loro Piana’s renowned cashmere. The soft front panel of our cashmere caps offers a relaxed and luxurious fit, perfect for anyone looking for something different from a traditional baseball cap.

Leichtfried Loden: Finest woolen merino fabrics

For more than 130 years, the Leichtfried mill has been a family business. It takes pride in making some of the best Merino wools using sustainable practices.

Leichtfried sources their wool from Australian Merino sheep, known for their incredibly fine wool. We have made our partnership with the Austrian mill even stronger by using more soft Merino wool in our Autumn Winter collections.

Vitale Barberis Canonico: Tradition meets innovation

Since 1663, the family-run mill has combined tradition with modern technology to create some of the best wools in the world. You can find their wool in our Autumn collection, including traceable Virgin Wool and Wool Tech.

Renowned for its exceptional quality, Sea Island Cotton is considered the finest cotton in the world. Its extra-long staple fibers—nearly twice the length of regular cotton—produce a fabric that is remarkably soft, smooth, and durable.

At Varsity Headwear, we carefully select materials for their look, feel, and performance. That’s why we choose Sea Island Cotton—where luxury meets lasting quality.
