Brown sheepskin leather develops a warm, amber-tinted patina over time that black leather does not. The surface deepens with each hour of wear and each change in weather, which means a brown leather cabbie newsboy cap that is three years old looks more interesting than one that is three weeks old. The investment appreciation runs in the opposite direction to most clothing purchases.
Crafted from 100% sheepskin leather with the classic eight-panel cabbie newsboy construction: a stitched-down brim that holds its angle permanently, a cotton lining, and a buttoned top that is standard to the vintage newsboy silhouette. Available in multiple sizes to ensure a precise, comfortable fit.
Brown leather works most naturally against warm palette outfits, which makes this the cap for autumn and winter dressing in particular. A camel overcoat, a tan leather jacket, khaki trousers, a burgundy scarf. The cap finds its own place within these colour relationships rather than dominating or disappearing.
