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. Itās a contemporary take on vintage workwearāeffortlessly cool and endlessly wearable.
Handmade in England using the finest English linen, this cap is designed with the warmer months in mind. Linenās 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 Brooklynās understated profile pairs beautifully with both casual and tailored looks. Its heritage design, rooted in early 20thācentury America, blends seamlessly with Lairdās commitment to British craftsmanship, resulting in a classic cap that transcends trend.

Bought the cap while touring Oxford! Fits great, packs wonderfully flat and will wear instead of a ball cap on golf course!

Love this cap, I bought a light blue one a couple of years back and have worn it loads, still in good shape so thought I would treat myself to another one in a different colour.

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.

Bought a blue similar cap about five years ago and it was far better built, more padding, the lining sewn with elan. It also had a solid felt band that gripped the head. The current iteration lacks all of this and feels in comparison flimsy. Nice colour though and it looks good.

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.
