A newsboy cap is a soft cap of eight panels gathered at a button on top, with a short stiff brim. Its fuller, rounder crown sets it apart from the flat cap, and it is usually made of wool tweed or herringbone. It is named after the boys who sold newspapers in the early 1900s, many of whom wore one.
Wear it straight or with the crown pulled slightly to one side, sitting low on the forehead. The volume of the crown makes it a casual hat: it goes with knitwear and coats rather than with a suit.
FAQ
What is the difference between a newsboy cap and a flat cap?
The newsboy cap is made of eight panels with a button on top, so it is fuller and rounder; the flat cap is cut close to the head and slopes forward onto its brim.
How should a newsboy cap fit?
Snug at the band, with the fuller crown resting loosely on top. It should sit low on the forehead without touching the eyebrows.
