Newsboy hats continue to be popular despite the years that have passed since their introduction. Thanks to Peaky Blinders, newsboy caps have become immensely popular among the young generations. Modern newsies know no genders. They are worn by men as well as women.

The Newsboy that the workers wore was composed of durable materials, including wool to protect against the winter's chill and fairly coarse cotton or linen. Today, newsboy caps are available in an extended range of materials. You can get a newsboy cap made of wool, leather, denim, cotton, tweed, linen, etc.

A wool newsie is best suited for winter to provide warmth against the chill. Cotton caps are popular in summer due to their soft material and ability to stay dry even with head perspiration.While not the warmest, linen hats wick away moisture well. Leather hats are extremely durable, warm and give a stylish look.

1. What is a newsboy cap?

Call it a newsboy cap, newsie cap, 8-paneled cap, or baker boy hat, it’s a casual-wear cap similar in style to the flat cap. These caps were famous among working-class boys and men in the late 1800s and early 1900s. As the name suggests, it was worn by boys selling newspapers on the street or delivering them to their doorsteps. A newsboy cap is a rounded cap with a low profile and a small, stiff brim, similar to a flat cap.

2. How should a newsboy cap fit?

Although it was traditionally worn by boys and men, today it has found popularity among women too. A man's newsboy cap should typically be flat or perpendicular to the ground.
