SHAPE:
The 1905 BIGBOY CAP is a casual cap with a firm peak that can be easily bent into shape and a soft round head that is sewn from eight spikes. A button is sewn on at the top of the head for decoration. The outer fabric is pulled over the peak to the middle.

Our 1905 BIGBOY CAP Hazelnut Bone shows subtle color. Because the classic brown and beige tones of the herringbone pattern are occasionally shyly mixed with petrol threads in the background.

For those who like classic, but a little different.

This outer fabric can be worn well in autumn, winter and also in spring. The medium-weight fabric from the MAGEE weaving mill is stiffer and gives the cap a good hold. MAGEE, one of the world's most traditional weaving mills since 1866, wove the fabric for us.

Can it be a little bigger? The 1905 BIGBOY CAP lives up to its name, because it is a modified form of the 1920 NEWSBOY +, even more volume, even more flexible in its own design. In contrast to the NEWSBOY CAPS, the 1905 BIGBOY CAP has no bridge and therefore looks even rounder.

Who hasn't seen them, the old black and white photographs from the turn of the century? Everyone wore headgear: newspaper boys, dock and steel workers, farmers, beggars, criminals, every trade. Only the noble men and women wore hats back then.

The numerous variants of caps were intended for busy life, mostly for work, but also for sport. In the middle of the 20th century, caps were rediscovered and, free from prejudice and class, they won over free spirits and artists. But they still carry a symbol within them. Because no one can deny that a cap wearer exudes an individuality that would be much less without one.
