The Linen Brooklyn Newsboy Cap is a refined reinvention of an American icon. With a slimmer, more oval shape than the traditional Baker Boy, this cap offers a modern, streamlined silhouette that has become a bestseller at Laird Hatters. It’s a contemporary take on vintage workwear—effortlessly cool and endlessly wearable.
Handmade in England using the finest English linen, this cap is designed with the warmer months in mind. Linen’s natural breathability and cooling properties make it ideal for spring and summer, offering comfort without compromising on style. The soft yet structured construction allows the Brooklyn cap to be easily packed away into a bag or suitcase, making it the perfect travel companion.
The Brooklyn’s understated profile pairs beautifully with both casual and tailored looks. Its heritage design, rooted in early 20th‑century America, blends seamlessly with Laird’s commitment to British craftsmanship, resulting in a classic cap that transcends trend.

This hat is amazing. My husband loves it and he has never been a fan of this style. Your hat specialist was incredible and should be awarded 1000x for his ability to identify perfect sizing and styles. I cant speak highly enough on the experience and the quality. Thank you for being a company that stands by their product and hires the best people.

Beautifully made and perfect fit - perhaps not as full in the crown as I was expecting but I'm still very pleased with it. This is my second Laird cap, and there's sure to be more

Have a number of Laird baker boys including Loden and Suede, this linen version seems to have a slightly more tailored shape, holds shape well, and is just perfect in the current hot weather.

Easy to deal with workers behind the counter in Oxford. I accidentally walked into your store in London, and they immediately recognized the hat! I told them that I had gotten it in Oxford!

I've bought a linen Brooklyn baker boys cap at the Oxford shop. It fits perfectly and protects well from the sun. I'll pick another one (different fabric) for next winter! Love it.

Perfect lower profile summer walking hat
David P. 5/5 Verified
On a bright sunny day in Oxford, I found myself without a proper hat and stopped in to find some protection for the day. Loving the hat so much, three days later I popped into the store on the Strand in London and bought three more in various colors. Needless to say, I am a fan.

Perfect fit, looks great, feel great wearing it. I have now bought three Laird caps since visiting them in London earlier this year, and each of them fits as perfectly as the one I tried in the shop. Very happy.

Love these , the store assistant was very helpful with sizing

It does exactly what I wanted it to do

I had to pay another 100 GBP tax because you declared the full amount instead of repaired which costs nothing.
Thomas M. 3/5 Verified
I feel like a very ignorant person. I never realized nor asked the cost of your hats. So much more than I ever would have paid and also really don’t feel my hat was worth it. The “steaming” to get correct look and the sizing neither worked. Hat kept flying off of my head and brim is still not “wavy” The men’s cap is lovely. Also over priced but nice. I’m going to try and sell mine. Tx

My wife says "it grows on you." It's refreshing to be the only one not wearing a baseball cap; comfortable, with adequate sun shading, and a sense that it fits with my advancing age
Peter A. 4/5 Verified
Fantastic cap just what i needed for this summer, beautifully made as always. Great service and easy to order
Craig B. 5/5 Verified
You always have great hats. I have 3 of them from you guys. Trouble is, the import to EU. So I bought 2 in London. And 1 now by import, but those rates are crazy. Ashame, because I always need an extra hat (or 2).
