The Ascot cap, also known as the Cuffley cap, is a hard men's cap similar to the flat cap, but distinguished by its hardness and rounded shape. Ascot caps are typically made from felt or wool and worn in the fall or winter, but straw Ascots also exist for warmer weather.

An Ascot being of a single color mostly matches up with casual clothes of that color or those who match it with a suit match up the color with the suit setup. Unlike the flat cap the inside is not lined with silk and plastic. The style is a flatcap collectors most prized collection as its the 1st original design streamlined in 1900 with the Gatsby following shortly afterward.

It is usually worn by men, but some women wear the style.
