Our 1920 NEWSBOY CAP Rails Road is reminiscent of a rail system, seen from a bird's eye view. A classic herringbone pattern but a little different.
This outer fabric is easy to wear in autumn, winter and 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.
Our 1920 NEWSBOY CAP is a variation of our BAKERBOY. It has 10% more volume in the head than the BAKERBOY. This means that the fabric falls more loosely 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 crown made of eight spit-ons. A button is sewn on the top of the crown 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 a hat: 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 "spit-on 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.
