Houndstooth Newsboy Cap

Our houndstooth newsboy cap takes the classic eight-panel shape and gives it a bold check, with a broken-tooth pattern large enough to read from across the street. The crown is slightly puffed and gathers under a covered button, and a short curved brim keeps the face open. See every shape and fabric in our newsboy caps.

Inside the Eight-Panel Houndstooth Cap

The fabric is a tweed-look weave in three colorways: black and white, beige and cream, and brown and cream. Inside, a black lining covers the seams, and a thin cord at the back lets you take in the fit slightly. It suits head circumferences of 22 to 23.6 inches (56 to 60 cm), and the brim is about 2.2 inches (5.5 cm) deep.

Styling a Newsboy Cap for Cold Days

We style it the way our photos do: with a long camel coat and a turtleneck, the cap tilted back a little to show the hair. Black and white houndstooth is the graphic choice with black or gray; beige suits camel and cream knits; brown works with rust, olive and denim. The cut is unisex, so it also tops a tweed-look blazer and suspenders at a Gatsby picnic or a 1920s-themed office party.

Houndstooth Newsboy Cap FAQ

What is a newsboy cap?

A soft, round cap built from panels, here eight, joined at a top button, with a short brim. It is fuller than a flat cap, which sits lower and flatter on the head.

Will it fit a larger head?

It fits 22 to 23.6 inches (56 to 60 cm). Measure around your forehead just above the ears; above 23.6 inches, this cap will feel tight.

Which color is easiest to wear?

Brown and cream blends with most winter coats. Black and white is the strongest statement, best against plain dark layers.
