Collection: Newsboy Caps

Newsboy Caps from Village Hats

Newsboy caps have gone by various names over the years, baker boy caps, eight panels, gatsbys or big apple caps. These days most people call them newsboy caps or newsboy hats. Inside the cut-and-sewn headwear business, the preferred name is eight-quarter cap as the hat is made by sewing together eight pie-shaped panels and affixing a button at the vortex. What ever you call them, newsboy caps are a classic shape with a whole lot of style and we are quite certain that for value and selection, no one does this category as well as us.

With the debut of Peaky Blinders in 2013 on BBC Two everything changed for the stylish yet humble newsboy cap. People realized it looked very, very good on most heads. Sales tripled overnight and for the first time in 33 years in the hat business, newsboy caps surpassed the more traditional flat cap in sales. Since then, there's been no looking back.
