Also known as a Paperboy Cap, Newsie Cap or Bakerboy - is thus named because they were first worn in the late 1800s and early 1900s largely by newspaper sellers. These styles have enjoyed an enduring popularity with people from all walks of life over the following decades. The wide choice of styles and warm but breathable colourful patterned fabrics make these a versatile and highly wearable all season staple.

Tweed offers exceptional warmth, durability, and a soft yet robust handle. The combination of Shetland wool results in a fabric that is both lightweight and resilient, making it a perfect choice for timeless outerwear and heritage-inspired garments.

Place the string or tape around your head above your ear and across the mid forehead, completely circling your head. Hold the tape firmly, but not too tightly. Measure your head exactly where you want the hat to sit. Measure in centimetres. If your measurement falls between sizes, round up to the nearest centimetre. It may help to either do this in the mirror or have someone to help for accuracy.

A professional measuring service is also available at our Swaine stores on New Bond Street and at the Burlington Arcade.
