There are hats you wear out of necessity. And then there's the classic baker boy. The kind of hat that makes you look a little more put-together – even on days when you're mostly just trying to keep track of the weather and your calendar.

This classic English-style hat is designed for the warmer months of the year and made from 100% linen. The material makes it light, breathable, and comfortable to wear, even when the sun is really blazing. At the same time, the fabric provides UV protection of +50, which is quite practical when summer decides to behave like Southern Europe.

The internal checked lining in 100% cotton provides both comfort and the perfect classic finish. The kind of details you might not notice immediately – but miss when they're not there.

The color and timeless shape make the hat suitable for everyday wear, car trips, summer lunches, and long days outdoors. It fits perfectly for both men and women with a sense of classic style and good craftsmanship.

A proper baker boy never really goes out of style. It simply gains more character with age. A bit like old Land Rovers.

What is a baker boy?

The English Baker Boy Cap, also known as the Newsboy Cap in the USA, is a casual wear cap with a wide, round crown, often made of eight panels sewn together with a button on top.

The style, much like a beret, was popular in Europe and the USA in the late 19th and early 20th centuries among both boys and adult men. As the name suggests, it is now associated with newspaper sellers, or newsboys, and baker boys who deliver on their bicycles around London and New York.

Today, the baker boy comes in a range of sizes; but the modern cap originated in the guilds. An apprentice would join a guild and initially wear a small baker boy cap. As they rose through the ranks, their cap size would increase until they became a master baker, who was allowed to wear the largest size cap.

Although traditionally a men's hat, it has been popular in various forms since the 1960s, with a much larger, floppy head and longer peak, with famous photos of Twiggy wearing a variation of the basic style in the swinging sixties.

It was then popularized by The Great Gatsby, as worn by Robert Redford, and both gave their name to the cap.

Recently, Bakerboy hats have become synonymous with the TV series Peaky Blinders, where the Shelby family and their gang wear baker boy hats. They became notorious for wearing razor blades in their hats and using them as an invisible weapon. Peaky Blinders has made the baker boy cap the most sought-after cap at the moment.
