Little hats, big adventures. Discover three thoughtful Christmas gifts for children, inspired by our grown-up favourites and made for country days together.
The Little Country Christmas Edit
Little hats. Big adventures.
For the little one who wants a hat just like yours. For muddy-boot walks, family lunches and the promise of an adventure after Christmas breakfast. Some presents become part of the days you spend together.
Our children’s collection takes three much-loved Hicks & Brown shapes and makes them smaller in scale. A wool felt fedora, a tweed baker boy and an easy wax cap: thoughtful Christmas gifts for girls and boys who love a little country character. Here’s how to choose the one that feels most like them.
01 / For their first proper fedora
A little country classic
Children's Suffolk Fedora in Dark Brown (Bronze Feather) · £79
The Children’s Suffolk Fedora is a special present for a little one who loves dressing up alongside the grown-ups. Soft wool felt in Dark Brown, a real leather band and natural feathers give it the familiar character of our signature style.
It’s smaller in every proportion than the adult Suffolk, with an elasticated inner headband to help the fit. Pair it with a favourite coat and boots for Christmas visits, country outings and days that call for something a little smarter.
Choose this for the child who already has their eye on your fedora. Natural feathers vary slightly, giving each hat its own character.
02 / For small days out
Tweed, with a playful side
Children's Felsham Tweed Baker Boy Cap in Brown · £59
The Children’s Felsham Tweed Baker Boy Cap brings the texture of British tweed to a familiar, softly structured shape. The Brown check works beautifully with cosy knitwear, corduroy and a country jacket.
An elasticated section at the back helps it sit comfortably. It’s a lovely choice for a child who enjoys a cap: smart enough for a family lunch, with an easy character that feels just as at home on a walk afterwards.
A thoughtful middle-ground gift: classic country styling in a smaller, easy-to-wear silhouette.
03 / For the everyday adventurer
Ready for the next outing
Children's Wax Baseball Cap in Olive Green · £32.50
For the child who would always rather be outdoors, the Children’s Wax Baseball Cap makes a useful little present. Made from dry wax cotton in Olive Green, it has a water-resistant finish and a rear adjuster for a more tailored fit.
It’s an easy option for everyday outings, exploring the garden and heading out with the family. At £32.50, it is the smallest-priced gift in the collection, with plenty of opportunity to be worn once Christmas is over.
Choose the wax cap if a relaxed, practical style is more their thing. The adjuster helps fine-tune the fit within the stated 51–53cm range.
Just like the grown-ups
A little “mini me” moment
There’s something rather lovely about a small person borrowing your style. If you’re choosing presents for a parent and child, our grown-up favourites make natural companions to the children’s collection.
Pair a Dark Brown children’s Suffolk with the adult Suffolk Fedora in Dark Brown, or match the children’s Brown tweed cap with the grown-up Felsham in Brown. For an everyday pairing, choose the adult Wax Baseball Cap in Olive Green alongside the smaller version.
They needn’t dress alike from head to toe. A shared shape or colour is a lovely nod to the person they look up to.
