Where do you ship?
We ship within the United Kingdom only, including Northern Ireland.
Are your caps and hoods made to order?
yard CLOTH pieces are produced in small batches with our British workshops. We begin with pre-orders, then make a few additional pieces so some caps and hoods are available for immediate dispatch. This helps us meet demand while avoiding unnecessary overproduction.
How long will my Scout hoods and Field Caps take to arrive?
In-stock hoods and caps are ready to dispatch straight away. Pre-order items are made in small batches, with an estimated dispatch date provided on the product listing.
Will my Scout hood fit over hair, headphones or layers?
The cut is intentionally flexible, but not oversized.
It fits comfortably over hair left down, plaits, and low-volume styles.
It will not sit neatly over high buns or large updos.
It fits over thin beanies, but thicker knit hats may feel bulky underneath.
Slim, on-ear or in-ear headphones fit well; larger over-ear headphones are best worn over the hood.
Our product images show how the hood behaves over natural volume.
How do I wear it when the hood is down?
When lowered, the Scout hoods rest softly at the nape or can be tied like a loose neckerchief.
They fold away easily into a bag or pocket when not needed.
What’s the difference between the Scout Hoods, the Scout Skins and the Scout Shells?
The Scout Hood is our reversible two-layer design with boiled wool for warmth and weatherproofed cotton for protection, while the Scout Skins are single-layer boiled wool hoods with an internal facing for light, breathable everyday wear, and the Scout Shell is the unlined weatherproof cotton version -a pared-back, rain-ready layer for milder days and sudden downpours.
Are your pieces plastic-free?
Our hoods are made primarily from natural fibres, with polyester stitching and recycled polyester care labels.
Our caps are made primarily from waxed cotton and leather, but include plastic components in their internal construction, as well as recycled polyester care labels.
We purchase plastic-free packaging components wherever possible and reuse suitable packaging from our own deliveries to reduce waste. This may include protective plastic packaging received with materials and components, which we reuse rather than discard. While the packaging we purchase is plastic-free, reused packaging may contain plastic.
What is the difference between the oilskin and the cotton cambric?
Cotton Cambric
- Finished in Britain by British Millerain
- Soft, matte, breathable and lightweight
- Water-resistant and washable at 30°C
- A practical everyday cloth with a natural handle
Silkwax Oilskin
- Traditional British waxed cotton
- Soft, slightly oily handle that mellows with wear
- Highly waxy at first, developing character over time
- Water-resistant: water beads but does not fully run off
- Not washable — spot clean only
In short: cambric is washable with a gentle drape, while oilskin is more traditional, structured and weather-hardy.
