From a cap for his daily walk to a beautifully soft lambswool scarf, discover thoughtful Christmas gifts chosen for the way he lives.
The Christmas Edit
Thoughtful gifts for country days
and everyday adventures.
The best gifts feel as though you’ve really thought about the person opening them. The cap he’ll reach for before a morning walk. A soft scarf to tuck into his favourite coat. A beautifully made hat for days he looks forward to all year.
If you’re choosing for a husband, partner, father, brother or friend, start with the way he spends his time and the pieces he already loves wearing. Our Christmas gift guide for men brings together timeless Hicks & Brown hats and accessories, with a few pointers to help you find something that feels just right.
01 / For the country gentleman
A hat to make his own
The Norfolk Fedora in Dark Brown | £109
A fedora is a thoughtful choice for a man who enjoys dressing for a day out, whether that means a country show, lunch at a favourite pub or a long walk followed by Sunday lunch. The Norfolk combines wool felt with a simple ribbon trim, giving it a quiet, classic character.
Dark Brown works beautifully with earthy tweeds and brown boots, while Olive Green is worth considering if his wardrobe leans towards greens and navy. It’s a particularly lovely gift for someone who already enjoys wearing a brimmed hat.
Choosing his first fedora? Take your cue from the colours he wears most often and check his head measurement before ordering.
02 / For days outdoors
A practical gift, beautifully considered
The Hengrave Wax Baker Boy Cap in Olive | £79
For the man whose daily routine includes a dog walk, the Hengrave Wax Baker Boy Cap offers a useful combination of character and practicality. Its water-resistant waxed outer suits changeable days, while the quilted lining adds warmth and comfort.
The softly structured shape feels at home with a wax jacket and knitwear. Choose Olive for a traditional country palette, or Navy if he tends to wear darker coats and denim.
Choose the Hengrave if he likes a traditional cap shape but would appreciate a practical wax finish.
03 / For a lover of tweed
A familiar favourite with fresh character
The Felsham Tweed Baker Boy Cap in Russet | £79
If his favourite jacket is tweed, the Felsham Baker Boy Cap is a natural place to start. Made using British tweed, it brings texture and colour to everyday winter dressing, with a quilted satin lining and our signature removable bird pin.
The Russet colourway has a warm, distinctive feel, particularly alongside olive outerwear or a navy jumper. It’s a lovely option for weekends away, country gatherings and the walk to the village pub.
Torn between the Felsham and Hengrave? Choose tweed for texture and heritage character; choose wax for water resistance.
04 / For everyday luxury
The scarf he’ll wear all winter
The Ashby Lambswool Scarf in Brown Check | £89
A scarf is one of the easiest ways to give something luxurious without needing to know his hat size. Made in Scotland from 100% lambswool, the Ashby is soft, warm and a generous 190cm long, with a classic 35cm width that sits neatly inside a coat.
Brown Check is an easy partner for navy, olive and brown outerwear. Wear it loosely draped on milder days or wrapped close when the temperature falls. For a man who values comfort and keeps his accessories simple, this is a thoughtful choice.
Make it a pair: the Ashby Scarf and Felsham Cap come to £168, for a gift with texture, warmth and plenty of everyday use.
05 / For the man who always wears a cap
An everyday essential, upgraded
The Wax Baseball Cap in Olive Green | £39
If he rarely leaves home without a baseball cap, a beautifully considered version of something he already wears can be the most successful present. Our Wax Baseball Cap is made from dry wax cotton with a water-resistant finish and an adjustable back.
Available in Olive Green and Navy, it’s an easy companion for early walks, weekends outdoors and time spent in the garden. At £39, it also makes a useful smaller gift.
Keeping the present a surprise? The adjustable back makes this a more flexible option than a sized fedora or baker boy cap.
06 / For weekends well spent
A gift for the outings still to come
Hicks & Brown Outdoor Blanket in Country Check | £69
For the man who enjoys a day at a country show, a coastal picnic or an afternoon watching sport from the sidelines, our Country Check Outdoor Blanket is a gift with plans attached.
The wool-blend upper and water-resistant backing make it a useful companion for outdoor days. Measuring 140cm by 170cm, it rolls into a faux leather carrier with a handle, ready to keep in the car for the next outing.
Give it with a handwritten promise of a spring picnic or a day out together to make the present feel more personal.
Something for his everyday. Something chosen with him in mind.
