Leather Newsboy Caps

A leather newsboy cap has a cleaner outline than cloth and a finish that develops character over time. Made in genuine leather, smooth or suede, and also sold as a leather cabbie or paperboy cap, it gives the classic shape a little more edge.

Frequently asked questions about leather newsboy caps

How to fit a leather newsboy cap?

Fit a leather newsboy cap to your exact size: genuine leather gives only slightly as it warms to your head, so a cap that feels loose on the first day will not tighten up later.
Our hat sizing chart gives the US size for each measurement, and some of these caps also come with an adjustable fit.

How long will a leather newsboy cap last?

A genuine leather newsboy cap is built to last: with simple care it keeps its shape for years, while the leather slowly softens to your head.
Treat smooth genuine leather now and then with a conditioner made for genuine leather, brush suede with a suede brush, and store the cap where nothing presses on its crown so the panels do not crease.

What styles of leather newsboy caps are available in this store?

Our leather newsboy caps come in smooth cowhide, softer sheepskin and brushed suede, in classic dark browns and black as well as lighter tones such as gray.
For colder months, look for the versions with earflaps that fold down over the ears. Most product pages name the type of leather, so you can choose between the firmer feel of cowhide and the softer hand of sheepskin.

Are leather newsboy caps suitable for everyday wear?

Yes: a leather newsboy cap is an easy everyday cap, because genuine leather holds up well to daily wear and looks just as right with a turtleneck as with a suede jacket.
Smooth genuine leather gives a sharper, more polished look, while suede feels softer and more relaxed, so smooth works well for the office and suede for the weekend.
