The Hopoye Plain Vintage Herringbone Baker Boy Hat is a classic 8 panel newsboy cap (also known as a paperboy cap or peaked flat cap) cut in a warm wool-blend herringbone fabric. With a structured domed crown, stitched button top and a firm sewn-down peak, it delivers that heritage look that works just as well with a wool overcoat as it does with jeans and a jumper.

What Is a Baker Boy Hat?
A baker boy hat (interchangeably called a newsboy cap or paperboy cap) is a rounded, panelled cap with a small stiff peak, originally worn by working men and paper sellers in the early 20th century. Unlike a standard flat cap, the baker boy has a fuller 8 panel crown that gives it more volume and a softer, vintage character. It became an icon of 1920s British street style and remains one of the most popular heritage hats in the UK today.
Fabric, Fit and Care
🧵
Fabric
30% wool / 60% polyester / 10% mixed fibres in a woven herringbone. Warm, matte and crease-resistant, season after season.
📏
Fit
Five fitted sizes: S, M, L, XL and 2XL. Measure just above your ears and eyebrows; if between sizes, size up for comfort.
🫧
Care
Spot clean with a damp cloth and air dry away from heat. Reshape the crown by hand while damp. No machine wash or tumble dry.
How to Style a Herringbone Newsboy Cap
Heritage smart: pair a Dark Grey or Charcoal herringbone baker boy with a wool overcoat, scarf and boots for a polished autumn-winter look.
Everyday casual: Navy Blue or Olive Green sits perfectly with denim jackets, chunky knits and trainers.
Statement vintage: Burgundy or Forest Green adds a rich pop of colour to neutral outfits and layers beautifully with tweed and corduroy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a baker boy hat the same as a newsboy cap?
Yes. Baker boy, newsboy and paperboy all refer to the same style: a panelled, rounded cap with a button top and short peak. This cap uses the classic 8 panel version for the fullest vintage shape.
Is this cap suitable for men and women?
Absolutely. The baker boy is a genuinely unisex style, and with 5 fitted sizes from S to 2XL it suits a wide range of head sizes and wearing styles.
Is it warm enough for winter?
Yes. The wool-blend herringbone fabric makes this a proper autumn and winter cap, with enough breathability for milder spring days too.
Which size should I choose?
Measure your head circumference just above your ears and eyebrows with a soft tape measure, then match it to our size guide. If you are between sizes, size up.
How do I keep it in shape?
Store it flat or on a hook by the peak, spot clean only, and reshape the crown gently by hand if it gets compressed in a bag.
