The cap is a reconstruction of a newsboy cap from early the 1900s discovered in an antique dealer's warehouse in New Jersey.

While the cap was in no condition to be worn, the former wearer's will felt somewhat solid. He deliberately sharpened the silhouette and volume. The cap is generally known as "newsboy cap" because of the newspaper delivery boys in the 19th Century famously wearing it, but labor-class men of the time seem to be have worn the "flat cap with a visor" more or less unanimously regardless of their professions. The fabric replicates the salt and pepper stripe used in the French vintage work jacket from the 1940s. The striped fabric using twisted grandrelle yarn, dyed with sulfur and finished with degreasing washer, carries a dry, non-oily touch. Further garment washing enhances the fades of seam allowances and wrinkles, evoking a sense of aged authenticity.
