Our Linen Applejack Cap is a welcome companion in warm weather. Popular throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this sporty classic lends a touch of nostalgic charm to any ensemble.

The crown is constructed from eight pie-shaped wedges and finished with a covered top button and flat bill. Worn by newsboys, shipwrights, farmers, and countless other tradesmen—as well as country sportsmen of means—this versatile cap earned many nicknames, including “wheelcap,” “newsy,” “eight-piece,” and “Gatsby cap.”

Crafted from breathable linen with a polyester lining, it offers lightweight comfort for everyday wear. An interior elastic band provides a flexible fit.

Made in the USA. One size fits most (approximately 23 inches in circumference).

Will fit most anyone.

I am reluctant to buy some items online for fear of improper fit. Not so with this cap. With an elastic band, it will fit most anyone.

Period Correct "Newsboy" Cap

Cap purchased as period correct cap for my early 1914 Model T Runabout. Cap was well made of very nice linen material and Made in USA! Well worth the price and historically correct for that period.

nice wide crown.

This hat came close to being 5 stars but it lacks structure in the headband.
It is nice and light and has a nice wide crown - very hard to find.
Perfectly good for the price.

too large

While the description says that the elastic band fits all head sizes, and that is true, the hat itself (material) is designed for men with larger heads. On me, the hat looks like material hanging over my head ears, making it look more like material just draped over my head. It's horrible.

Un-wearable

Cap looks good but unfortunately un-wearable, Elastic headliner is to tight causing cap to instantly pop straight up off of head unless you have a small hat size I do not. Waisted $30

Period hat

I am very excited about the hat because it is NOT the modern flat hat you see today from time to time. This hat is wider with multiple folds like you would see on a newspaper boy in The Godfather or other period movies. Glad I purchased it to top off my outfit.

Great hat.

I definitely feel like a Wright brother. I got it for painting, but now it's just something I wear inside while I engineer and computer.
It's a phenomenal color and material. It's Irish linen from a NY hat company. I will definitely be buying a few more at this great price. The size is good. It stretches to an adults head.

Linen Applejack Cap - Black

I have had the same cap in oatmeal linen for a couple years. I ordered the black because I liked the quality of the previous purchase. Excellent product & fast service! Thank you!

Good Value

Very nice. Good value, Wish it came in sizes. It has a tendency to slide up my head, I have a large one. I think I have it resolved. And as always, bravo for natural fabrics.
