Key Features of Our Bakerboy Caps Collection:

  • Classic Design: The Bakerboy Cap, with its wide, round crown and eight-panel construction, is a staple of classic headwear. Each cap is meticulously crafted with a button on top, preserving the traditional look while ensuring superior quality.

  • Varied Sizes: Available in sizes ranging from 9 to 12 inches in diameter, our Bakerboy Caps cater to a range of preferences and head sizes. Historically, cap size denoted seniority within a guild, from apprentice to master baker.

  • Timeless Appeal: Known by several names, including Baker Boy, Apple Cap, Eight Panel, Jay Gatsby Cap, and Redford Cap, this style has been popular across generations. Its association with newspaper and baker boys in the late 19th and early 20th centuries adds to its nostalgic charm.

  • Historical Significance: Embrace the heritage of the Bakerboy Cap, a favorite among early 20th-century European and American men, and popularized by figures such as Bertie Wooster and Robert Redford in "The Great Gatsby." This cap has evolved from a symbol of working-class tradesmen to a stylish accessory embraced by fashion icons.

  • Modern Versatility: While traditionally a men’s cap, the Bakerboy has seen a resurgence in popularity since the 1960s, with variations featuring a larger, floppy head and longer peak. Today, it remains a fashionable choice for both men and women, adding a touch of retro elegance to any outfit.
