The cap is a reconstruction of a newsboy cap from early the 1900s discovered in an antique dealer’s warehouse in New Jersey. 

While the cap was in no condition to be worn, the former wearer’s will felt somewhat solid. The cap is generally known as “newsboy cap” because of the newspaper delivery boys in the 19th Century famously wearing it, but labor-class men of the time seem to be have worn the “flat cap with a visor” more or less unanimously regardless of their professions.

The yarn is spun from wool sourced from sheep raised in harsh, dry environments—resulting in long fibers with excellent resilience. The fabric is woven into a classic tweed with a soft handfeel, offering both vintage character and a comfortable wearing experience.
