What is a baker boy hat?

A baker boy hat — also called a newsboy cap, paperboy cap, Gatsby cap or 8-panel cap — is a soft, rounded cap made from eight fabric panels gathered into a covered button at the crown, finished with a small stiff peak at the front. It sits fuller and rounder than a flat cap, giving it that unmistakable vintage, 1920s working-class-hero look made famous again by period dramas and modern street style.

This plain version is the most versatile of them all: no pattern, no fuss — just a clean block colour that works with everything from a wool overcoat to a denim jacket.

📏 How to find your size

Wrap a soft tape measure around your head about 1–2 cm above your ears and eyebrows, where the cap will naturally sit. Keep the tape snug but comfortable.

Tip: if you're between sizes, size up — a baker boy hat should sit relaxed on the head, never tight. The fuller crown means it stays comfortable even over thicker hair.

Frequently asked questions

Is a baker boy hat the same as a newsboy cap?

Yes — baker boy, newsboy, paperboy, Gatsby and 8-panel cap are all names for the same rounded, panelled cap with a front peak. Flat caps are the slimmer, lower-profile cousin.

Is this cap warm enough for winter?

Yes. The 30% wool blend gives real insulation for autumn and winter, while the polyester keeps the cap durable and shape-retaining in damp British weather.

Can women wear this baker boy hat?

Absolutely — it's a unisex design. The baker boy silhouette is one of the most popular vintage hat styles for women right now, styled with blazers, trench coats and knitwear.

Which colour should I choose?

Black is the most versatile; Dark Grey and Navy pair beautifully with coats and denim; Light Grey lifts darker winter outfits. If in doubt, Black or Dark Grey go with everything.

How do I clean it?

Spot clean marks with a damp cloth, or hand wash gently in cool water. Reshape while damp and air dry naturally — never tumble dry or place on a radiator.

Does it come in large sizes?

Yes — unlike most one-size caps, this baker boy hat runs from S right up to 2XL, making it a genuine option for larger head sizes.
