Fantastic authentic hat store. I visited a few of Lairds locations around central London and the customer service was excellent in all. As was the selection. Very happy with the newsboy I bought.

The Speckled ‘Brooklyn’ Newsboy Cap is a refined interpretation of the classic newsboy silhouette, combining authentic heritage craftsmanship with a more contemporary, tailored profile. Crafted from 100% wool, the Brooklyn is designed with a more fitted oval-cut shape than traditional Bakerboy caps, creating a cleaner and more versatile finish suited to modern everyday wear.
Inspired by classic American styling and timeless British craftsmanship, this cap effortlessly bridges vintage character with understated contemporary elegance. The richly textured speckled cloth adds depth and individuality, while maintaining the durability, warmth, and structure for which genuine wool is renowned.
Defined by its balanced proportions and streamlined silhouette, the Brooklyn offers a more refined alternative to fuller traditional newsboy styles. Equally suited to city wear, countryside outings, or elevated casual dressing, it pairs naturally with tailored outerwear, knitwear, and relaxed everyday essentials.
Handcrafted in England by skilled hatters, the Brooklyn reflects enduring quality and timeless style — a cap designed to remain a staple accessory season after season.

Nice cap good quality
Very good quality cap. The sizing is accurate which is often hard to find. Laird is on my list of companies to purchase from in the future.
I already own a herringbone twill Brooklyn Newsboy from Laird, and love the slim profile and silhouette compared to a traditional bakerboy. I chose this wool Brooklyn Newsboy as a winter cap, expecting it to have the same slim profile. However, it puffs out more at the temples compared to my other cap, creating a bit of a different look. Maybe this is due to the thicker material, or it seems like maybe it’s stitched differently. I added a couple of stitches to hold the sides down a bit to create that slimmer profile, and am now happy with the look.
As always great service, attention to detail , making sure the customer felt comfortable with there purchase , thanks guys for all your help , love the hat ❤️❤️❤️👍
