The Timeless Style of the Bakerboy Cap: A Classic Reimagined by Barbour

The Bakerboy cap, also known as the newsboy cap, is a timeless piece of British headwear that continues to grow in popularity.

At Allweathers, we’re proud to offer a premium collection of Barbour Bakerboy caps—perfect for adding a heritage-inspired touch to your wardrobe.

A Brief History of the Bakerboy Cap

The Bakerboy cap originated in the UK and Ireland in the late 1800s, commonly worn by workers, newspaper boys, and tradesmen. Over the decades, it became symbolic of practical fashion—and eventually, vintage charm.

With the help of modern icons like David Beckham and shows like Peaky Blinders, the cap has cemented its place as a go-to accessory for both everyday style and smart-casual outfits.
