The newsboy cap, named for its association with newspaper boys in the early 20th century, is a popular alternative to the standard baseball cap. Like ivy and driver's caps, newsboy hats feature a front bill attached to a full, paneled body with a button or snap. Newsboy caps differ from ivy caps in that they are slightly more billowy and roomy in the body. Historically associated with working-class boys and young men (think Oliver Twist), versions of the cap were adopted by all social classes -- even as a golfer's cap in the early 20th century.

Today, newsboy caps, along with ivy caps, are enjoying a resurgence as a fashionable casual cap for when a baseball cap just will not cut it. Prefer a slimmer profile? See our ivy and driver caps, or read our guide to the history of the flat cap.
