The baker boy cap — also commonly known as the newsboy cap, Gatsby cap or Peaky Blinders style cap — became famous during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Traditionally made using eight stitched panels gathered around a central button, the baker boy cap featured a fuller, rounder shape than the flatter traditional flat cap. It was worn by newspaper boys, dock workers, labourers and eventually by fashionable gentlemen looking for a relaxed yet stylish look.

More recently, television shows such as Peaky Blinders helped bring baker boy hats back into mainstream fashion, inspiring a new generation to embrace classic British heritage style.

Today, baker boy caps are worn by men and women alike, offering a perfect blend of vintage character and modern versatility.
