Winter Newsboy Hat

Corduroy gives our winter newsboy hat its character: wide ribs run down each of the eight panels, gathered at a button on top and finished with a stitched brim. Inside, an elasticated back keeps it from lifting in the wind. It comes in black, mustard, rust brown and army green, and in three real sizes rather than one adjustable band.

Choosing a Size for the Corduroy Newsboy Hat

Wrap a tape around your head just above the ears and through the middle of the forehead. M fits 22 to 22.8 inches (56-58 cm), L 22.8 to 23.6 inches (58-60 cm) and XL 23.6 to 24.4 inches (60-62 cm). Between two sizes, we suggest the larger: the elastic will take up the slack, while a tight cap creeps up off the head.

Four Shades of Winter Newsboy Hat and What to Wear With Them

Black is the easy city option with a navy peacoat. Mustard, a warm yellow, brightens a gray tweed jacket or charcoal knit. Rust brown leans red-brown, never orange, and looks right with denim and a cream cable sweater. Army green works with khaki chinos and a field jacket. More cap shapes sit in our newsboy caps.
