The leather newsboy cap operates in a completely different style register to the wool and tweed alternatives. Where wool reads as country and heritage, sheepskin leather reads as urban and considered. The cab driver in a classic black leather cap is a fashion archetype that runs from 1920s New York through to contemporary street style, which gives this cap an authority that fabric alternatives simply do not carry.
This black version is crafted from 100% sheepskin leather with the classic eight-panel construction, a stitched-down brim that holds its position permanently, a cotton lining for comfort against the head, and a buttoned top detail that is standard to the cabbie newsboy silhouette. The sheepskin leather develops a patina with wear that builds the character of the cap over time.
Available across multiple sizes. The black leather cabbie cap works with everything from a plain white T-shirt to a structured leather jacket to a long wool overcoat. The versatility of black leather against any outfit colour is the practical argument. The quality of sheepskin construction is the long-term one.
