Since the early 1900s, the newsboy cap has been a popular style in Ireland and Britain. Originally, working men and newspaper boys wore it. It's a useful and well-known piece that has lasted through the years.
With its 8-panel design, curved peak, and button on top, our Men's 8 Piece Irish Cap with Speckled Design keeps that classic look. You can wear the brim up or down with the front snap closure, depending on your style. It has a roomy shape that makes it feel old-fashioned but comfortable.
This Irish cap is a deep brown tweed with salt & pepper flecks. There are small bits of color like red, green, and blue woven into the fabric. The earthy colors are based on the colors of Ireland's natural landscape, like mossy hills, wildflowers, and stone walls.
The hat is handmade from 100% Donegal tweed, which is a mix of Irish and Scottish wool. It's warm, lets air through, and lasts a long time, so it's great for everyday use. Wool also naturally keeps stains and moisture out. The inside of the hat is fully lined with soft viscose for extra comfort.
Wear it with our Merino Wool Shawl Neck Button Irish Sweater for Men for a classic, laid-back look.
