Wool 6-Panel Barney Duckbill Cap

Our Newsboy Flat Cap offers you a vintage-styled look with the Walker and Hawkes finish, combining comfort and style along with exceptional value. Newsboy hats are similar to Flat Caps, characterized by stiffened, small peaks and typically crafted from tweed. However, the Newsboy Cap is slightly more rounded with a looser appearance, stitched together in panels and joined to the top, differentiating it from the more streamlined Flat Cap and the more rounded Baker Boy Cap.

The origins of the Newsboy Cap can be traced back to its popularization by newspaper boys, who appreciated its functionality and warmth. Over time, the upper classes embraced the hat, recognizing its undeniable style and practical benefits for activities like sport hunting and shooting.

Crafted with a fabric composition of 40% Wool and 60% Polyester, our Newsboy Flat Cap boasts exceptional durability. The tweed is woven extremely tight, enabling it to withstand over 20,000 bends without breaking. Additionally, the water-resistant properties of the fabric allow it to absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without becoming soaked through, which also helps to wick away perspiration, keeping you cool during the warmer months.

The solid feel of our hats, courtesy of Walker and Hawkes' signature deep fit, ensures a snug and firm fit around your head. We recommend referring to our size guide to find the perfect match. Furthermore, the natural elasticity of the tweed material helps resist creasing and wrinkling, maintaining a neat and polished appearance.

Suitable for a wide range of uses, including shooting, hiking, horse-riding, farming, fashion, outerwear, and dog walking, the Newsboy Flat Cap is a versatile accessory that will serve you well in various environments. During summer, the peak will shield your eyes from the sun, while the breathable and lightweight design will keep you cool and dry. In colder, wetter conditions, the water-resistant properties and solid construction will help keep you warm and dry.

To ensure the longevity of your Newsboy Flat Cap, we recommend hand-washing the product. The internal lining, made from 100% Polyester with diamond-quilted padding, provides additional comfort and support, complementing the durable outer shell.

In summary, our Newsboy Flat Cap combines the timeless appeal of vintage style with the practical benefits of modern materials and construction. Whether you're seeking a stylish addition to your wardrobe or a reliable accessory for your outdoor adventures, this cap delivers both comfort and value, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of activities and occasions.
