Kingston Newsboy Silk GÖTTMANN Cap

Product details

The Newsboy: Cheeky, Vintage, Classy

The newsboy cap originated in the Industrial Revolution, at the end of the 19th century, in Europe. It was mostly worn by the working class for its comfort and affordability. It was also worn by gentlemen as a sports hat. During the last 150 years, it took many shapes and forms depending on local fashions.

The Kingston Newsboy Silk is a summer newsboy cap with a volume typical of the Londonian styles of the early 20th century. One could easily see the resemblance with the ones adorned by certain razor sharp gangsters well known to today’s public!

Offered in a 100% silk fabric, this cap is perfect for the warm and the sun. Style wise, the Kingston Newsboy Silk is unisex, chic yet casual and will effortlessly blend into any spring and summer outfit. Give yourself a touch of youthful cheek this summer!

This Göttmann cap features an 8-panel newsboy crown that gives it a soft volume that accentuates its elegant vintage looks. To add to the insulating properties of its outer shell fabric, the Kingston Newsboy Silk Cap features a 100% polyester lining for maximum comfort. It also presents a 2” (5,08 cm) for better UV protection to the head and face, as well as a 1” (2,54 cm) depth band for increased comfort and fit.
