History of the cap

I first designed this cap for John Lennon in 1964 and he was still wearing it the last time I saw him, in 1975 - he said it was his all-time favourite hat. I was touched - John was more sentimental than he cared to let on - and I occasionally wondered what kind of condition it was in! I've since discovered from archive images that Yoko Ono also wore my cap.

It's still made in the home city of the Beatles - and my favourite town - Liverpool!

Read the backstory.

Why people love this cap

People are in love with this cap mainly because of its history and iconic fashion status. But when you put it on, you know why! 

It's soft and comfortable and cleverly shaped to sit towards the back of the head, just as John wore his. It seems to suit everybody, regardless of age, race or gender.

If you love the Beatles, you need this John Lennon Leather Cap. It's perfect for superfans and anyone looking to honour the fashions and clothes style of John Lennon and the Beatles. As a collector's item it's an important piece of Lennon/Beatles memorabilia and can be used as part of an entire John Lennon costume.

It also makes a fabulous gift for the John Lennon or Beatles fan and if measuring their head without them knowing might be tricky - get them a gift voucher!

My John Lennon Cap

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.
