Bakerboy caps at Lock & Co.
The bakerboy cap, or ‘newsboy’ or ‘gatsby’ as it is also known, is a hat style that comes from humble beginnings but like so many sartorial emblems, was then adopted and popularised by the aristocracy. Today bakerboy hats for men are most widely associated with the TV series ‘Peaky Blinders’ and those seeking an informal yet statement piece.
Fuller in body than a flat cap, a bakerboy hat is constructed by sewing together 6 or 8 panels of cloth and is finished with a button on top. In true Peaky Blinders fashion, a blade would have been concealed within the peak of a bakerboy cap but today we prefer to finish ours with a malleable piece of stiffened plastic!
Lock Hatters prides itself in offering our customers a wide range of fabrics and finishes. We work with the best mills to bring you the finest wool, cashmere, linens and cottons, and manufacturers to ensure the utmost quality.
A hatter’s tip – bakerboy caps look best styled at an angle or worn level just above the eyebrows.
