I searched and didn't find the info here...which can't be possible...but I can't find it. Who's making them for the show? What's your feeling on them being historically accurate?
Newsboy caps, and flat caps in general, never went out of style. I'm 66 years old and I've been seeing them since I was little kid. And every era in between, someone was wearing them in preference to baseball caps, etc.When I bike around in my city, Copenhagen, I notice that a lot of men are starting to wear caps, especially the Newsboy probably because it is featured so heavily in "Peaky Blinders".
Am I the only one who thinks this will be just a fashion thing fora few years and not progress into more people wearing hats on a permanent basis? I like seeing the caps around town but I am not sure how long the trend will last. I wish it would open up for more hat wearers. From time to time I see one guy, the same, wearing a bowler but that is about it. Fedoras has a small but steady following here. What is your opinion on the matter?
I just ordered one made by Aran Sweater Market. I didn't see them for sale when I was on Inishmor in September. It's one of the few makers I've never owned, so I had to fix that.Mine are Aran Sweater Market and Stetson. Both are well made caps
