Our 1920 NEWSBOY CAP Furrows Red has a wonderfully multifaceted color scheme. A play of colors of rust, camel, brown and black tones, woven in an unusual pattern, this natural color scheme adapts wonderfully to your wardrobe.
This outer fabric is easy to wear in autumn, winter and also spring. The medium-weight fabric from the Harris Tweed weaving mill is stiffer and gives the cap a good stand. Harris Tweed, one of the most sought-after wool textiles in the world, produced the fabric for us on the Scottish Outer Hebrides.
Our 1920 NEWSBOY CAP is a variation of our BAKERBOY. It has 10% more volume in the head than the BAKERBOY. This makes the fabric more loose and can be pushed to the side.
The 1920 NEWSBOY 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 the top of the head for decoration. The outer fabric is pulled over the peak to the middle. The cap has a 2 cm wide bridge all around.
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. The name "slider cap" goes back to the old Berlin term "Schieber" for foreman. This type of cap has also been rediscovered, now free of prejudice and class, and it has conquered free spirits and artists. But it still carries a symbol within it. Because no one can deny that a cap wearer exudes an individuality that would be much less without one.
