Mesh Newsboy Cap

This mesh newsboy cap is a true eight-panel cap with a button on top, made for warm weather: the outer fabric is a lightweight open-weave check, and the inside is lined with mesh netting that keeps air moving. An elasticated back holds it on heads from 22 to 23.2 in (56 to 59 cm), and a small metal button sits at the side.

A Full-Crown Newsboy Cap for Summer

The roomy, gathered crown is the real newsboy shape that a flat cap cannot give, and in this airy fabric it stays comfortable at an outdoor jazz concert, a summer swing dance or a day at the races. Cream works with a linen suit and suspenders, black with a white shirt and dark trousers, burgundy with gray or navy, and salmon pink with white denim or a floral dress.

Fit and Care for the Mesh-Lined Newsboy Cap

Thanks to the elastic at the back, the cap moves with you and needs no buckle. Spot-clean marks with a damp cloth and let the cap dry on a rounded object to protect the gathered crown. Heavier tweed versions are in our newsboy caps.

Mesh Newsboy Cap FAQ

What is a newsboy cap?

A cap with a soft, round crown built from eight panels, gathered at a button on top and stitched to a short brim. The name recalls the paperboys who wore them on city corners in the early 1900s.

Is the whole cap made of mesh?

No. The outside is a light, open-weave check fabric and the mesh netting is the lining. Together they make a cap that breathes while keeping its color and shape.

Is the pink a bright shade?

It is a soft salmon pink, warmer than baby pink, and the burgundy is a deep wine tone rather than a bright red.
