Peaky Blinders Newsboy Cap

A Peaky Blinders newsboy cap is the fuller cousin of the flat cap, and ours is cut from gray herringbone in eight panels that rise into a rounded, slightly slouched crown and meet at a button on top. The short peak keeps the front tidy, so the volume stays at the back and sides. One size covers about 56 to 62 cm (22 to 24.4 inches).

Gray Herringbone on an Eight-Panel Newsboy Cap

The zigzag weave breaks up the light, so a mid-gray cap looks rich rather than plain and hides the odd mark between wears. It is one of the easiest shades in our peaky blinders hats, agreeing with charcoal suits, navy overcoats, brown tweed-style jackets and denim. For a 1920s theme, add braces and a collarless shirt.

Wearing a Baker Boy Newsboy Cap: Angle and Fit

Pull the crown slightly forward and to one side so the panels fall over the brow for the period look; set further back, the same cap feels relaxed and modern. At the small end of the range, seat it firmly before a windy walk.
