A newsboy cap is a type of casual hat with a rounded top and a short, stiff visor. It is sometimes known as a newsie or baker boy hat. Newsboy caps are similar to flat caps, but they have a fuller and rounder appearance, with eight panels that meet at the top, usually with a button.
These caps were wildly popular in the early 20th century, worn by everyone from newspaper boys (where the hat got its name) and farmers to dockworkers, golfers, and other sportsmen. These versatile caps made a comeback in the 2000s thanks to celebrities who embraced them as a go-to accessory for adding polish to everyday outfits. Today, Etsy sellers create newsboy caps for men and women in both vintage and modern styles.
