Product Insights
Brixton's Newsboy Cap, inspired by 'Guns of Brixton' and the Peaky Blinders aesthetic, delivers period styling with an eight-panel crown and rigid visor that resists fading, holds shape, and frames the face without heavy overhang. The 95% polyester, 5% wool construction offers colorfastness, abrasion resistance, and shape retention, while the black color pairs with any palette. Sized XS-XL (54-62 cm), it scales for smaller heads and allows a loose 1920s workwear look by sizing up, but is suited only for mild cool weather, not extremes, and requires hand cleaning.
