Authentic antique 1920s–1930s era newsboy cap in a classic 8-panel slouchy construction, a true everyday headwear staple of the period. This is not a later reproduction—an original piece with the soft, full crown and natural drape collectors look for. Asking price is $50 shipped in the continental U.S., Zelle or PayPal Friends and Family.
Done in a lighter-weight wool (or wool-blend) fabric with a subtle tonal woven pattern. This example stands apart from the more commonly encountered heavier winter-weight caps, offering a softer hand and more versatile wear across seasons.
The shape is right—full crown, low profile, and a natural slouch when worn.
Details:
No marked size. I typically wear a 7 1/4, and this cap fits me comfortably at that size. It may accommodate slightly larger depending on preferred fit, especially given the wear to the sweatband.
Condition:
Fair condition overall with wear consistent with age.
All condition points are shown in photos.
A strong example of early 20th century headwear, with a less common lighter-weight fabric that makes it especially wearable compared to typical heavy wool variants. Displays well and can still be worn with care.
Ships promptly. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
