ABOUT THE NEWSBOY STYLE CAP - RETRO WITH ATTITUDE
The name stems from the boys who worked selling newspapers on the streets at the end of the late 1800s. But the truth is that the cap was used by more than just "newsboys". All men, especially from the working class, could be seen wearing this cap type during the heyday of the early 20th century. It has a rounder, more generous and bolder shape than, for example, the Ivy cap since it’s sewn with several triangular pieces of fabric and has a button in the middle. An iconic design with urban attitude which is perfect if you are inspired by the retro style of the TV series Peaky Blinders. The rule of thumb is that the slim models fit best with narrower faces, and the classic models fit best with rounder faces.
