Description

More fashionable than a flat cap, packed with more character than a baseball cap, the classic newsboy is experiencing a surge in popularity. Made up of eight fabric panels with a button on top, it was initially worn by newspaper sellers, dockers, and farmers during the Edwardian age, and is also referred to as the Baker Boy or the Jay Gatsby. The additional fabric in the top makes it surprisingly warm, and this one is crafted from authentic Harris Tweed, a unique pure wool textile hand-woven by the islanders of the Scottish Outer Hebrides.
