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.
Why you'll love it
30% wool for genuine warmth, blended with hardwearing polyester so it keeps its shape season after season.
Full, rounded newsboy crown with a covered button top — the genuine vintage silhouette, not a flattened imitation.
A classic shape that suits men and women — one cap, endless outfits.
Five sizes from S to 2XL — including proper options for larger heads that most caps ignore.
The peak keeps drizzle off your face and the wool blend keeps the chill out — built for British weather.
Black, Light Grey, Dark Grey and Navy — the four shades that go with everything in your wardrobe.

📏 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.
