“There was a special costume of John’s I couldn’t get. I was searching on the internet trying to get that leather cap and suddenly it popped up in front of my eyes an ad saying John Lennon leather cap by Helen Anderson!
“OMG! I had been searching for this cap my whole life and now I found the original Lennon leather cap, designed by Helen Anderson a close friend of John since art school days! So I went straight to her website and ordered one for me.
“If you are a Beatle fan or John Lennon admirer you must have one because it’s not only an incredible leather cap to wear but is a unique collector's item that you must keep forever, as John did.”

Let customers speak for us
from 57 reviewsBeing a huge John Lennon fan, I LOVE the Handmade, superb quality hat Helen made. I it’s like wearing a piece of history. I will cherish it the rest of my life. THANK YOU!
The John Lennon Cap is beautifully made, perfectly fitted, and has a reassuring comfort to it. For those of us who are of a certain vintage, the cap is like nothing so much as coming back home. It has been a long time and a lengthy journey, and nothing since then has been half so good as where we began. Thank you, Helen.
I've long been a Beatles fan and particularly a fan of John Lennon. For years I'd considered buying a Greek fisherman's cap, which is how I'd seen described the famous hat that John wore, particularly in the mid-60s, but none of the generic ones ever looked quite right to me.
A couple of months ago I stumbled onto Helen's site and was fascinated to read how she designed the cap specially for John, and that she went to art college with John and Cynthia, and that she now makes replicas of the original cap to order. In my haste to get this great hat, I measured my head size too large and the cap that came didn't fit me. However, I was able to give it to my dad (who first turned me on to the Beatles, and who loves his cap!) and order another cap with the correct measurement. I am delighted that the new cap fits great and looks fantastic! I highly recommend this product. It's made of high quality nappa leather and is very comfortable to wear. It is made with care and love by Helen, and it is a lovely memento to the late great John Lennon.
I received my John Lennon Cap today and I am still shocked by just how great it is! It came in a beautiful box with a lovely note from Helen (what a sweet lady!). As soon as I took it out of the box, I knew I was truly looking at what I had been looking for my whole life. Then, I tried it on and it was a PERFECT fit (I have NEVER had a hat or cap fit me like this in my life!). It is fabulously made and after years of having what I thought were really good John caps, I now have the REAL DEAL! If you want what John wore for all those years, buy from Helen! I cannot thank her enough. GOD BLESS YOU, HELEN!
I got my one for my mom with my sister in june for her birthday and she was estatic from joy when she saw it she says its very comfortable and good quality would recommend for any beatles fan in your family
My wife Dot purchased my John Lennon cap for me on the 60th Anniversary of the Beatles arriving in the USA. I had fancied the leather cap for a long time. It was my wife's birthday present to me. John wore this now famous leather cap as he stepped of the plane at Kennedy Airport on the 7th February 1964. I am looking forward to some warmer weather when I can wear the cap whilst driving my sports car. It is amazing that Helen who originally designed John's cap still manufactures the cap today. I was most fortunate to meet Helen-a wonderful lady. By the way the leather cap is fantastic and wonderful quality.
A contemporary fit t shirt, stunning print and a very soft texture. Excellent quality.
Gorgeous hat. Excellent quality craftsmanship. Versatile and unique.

Helen! Sos la persona mas maravillosa que existe! Sos tan amable y genrosa y talentosa ! Gracias por la carta que encontré dentro de la caja. La gorra .......que decir.........PER FEC TA ! Me la puse y me quedó de maravillas. Es preciosa ! Tenia tantas ganas de tenerla y la hiciste de maravillas.
No duden en comprar su gorra ! Helen con las medidas hace la gorrita perfecta. Estoy tan tan feliz. Solo me faltó darte un abrazo. Les mando tanto a ti como a Danielle un fuerte abrazo virtual esperando poder verlas en mi proximo viaje. La mejor gorrita del mundo que un beatlemanico no puede dejar de tener 🥰
I have received my beautiful, perfectly fitting, cap and I will wear it always. The packaging is wonderful too, and the service was top notch.
For a Beatles, Lennon and a hat man, I am very happy, and only sorry about that I didn't know of it sooner.
And, it is warm, so perfect for Icelandic winters.
"Love is knowing, we can be..."
First things first: ok, it's pricey. But the cap itself is a lovely thing, supple, soft, luxuriously comfortable. It really is something special.
But even better than that are Helen and her daughter, Danielle. In my case I got the sizes mixed up. Lo and behold, when the cap arrived, Helen had noticed the discrepancy, and made the necessary adjustment. And explained it all in a charming, handwritten note inside the box. You'll go some distance these days to get personal attention like that. I am very grateful to her.
Danielle is on hand (even at 33,000 feet) to keep you informed, and deal with queries, quickly and personably.
Cap arrived within a couple of days as promised. I can't fault that kind of quality and service. Brilliant.
I bought this hat for my daughter for her 17th birthday as she is a huge John Lennon fan! It was absolutely perfect!! Amazing quality and it looks amazing on her. The customer service was above and beyond from the moment I placed my order. I would recommend this shop to anyone and will definitely order from them again.
