History of the Newsboy Cap:
The newsboy cap (also called ivy cap, driver cap, or Irish cabbie) became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was worn by working-class men, including newsboys, cab drivers, and factory workers. Today, it's a timeless gentleman's accessory.

Why Mesh for Summer:
Traditional newsboy caps are made of wool or tweed โ€“ great for winter but too hot for summer. This mesh version solves that problem, keeping the classic look while adding breathability.
