Newsboy cap

A great many photographs of the period show these caps worn not only by newsboys, but by dockworkers, high steel workers, shipwrights, costermongers, farmers, beggars, bandits, artisans, and tradesmen of many types.

Although traditionally a men's cap, it has recently seen a resurgence as it has become popular with affluent women and fashion houses in the 2000s.

For summer, many girls and women are choosing soft cotton options as the brim offers sun protection.

In winter, wool blend baker boy hats are a popular option for those who want to wear a natural material.

The hat is worn by the Shelby family and their associates in the British TV series Peaky Blinders.
