This Newspaper Boys Cap originates from the garments worn by newspaper boys during the Great Depression in the United States in the 1930s. The body is made of 14-wale corduroy. 14-wale corduroy is slightly thicker than fine-wale corduroy, with just the right amount of firmness. The unique nap gives it a glossy sheen, soft color, and textured feel, and corduroy’s excellent heat retention and moisture absorption properties are achieved by trapping air in these textured areas. The cap is designed with an internal size adjustment tape, and is available in three sizes for easy adjustment. Sizes : 36 (57.5cm) / 38 (59cm) / 40 (60.5cm) Material : 100% Cotton The Newspaper Boys Cap originates from caps worn by children delivering newspapers during the Great Depression in 1930s America. The body uses 14-wale corduroy fabric. 14-wale is slightly thicker than fine-wale corduroy and features a moderate stiffness. Its unique luster from the raised nap, soft color tones, and the fabric’s textured ridges are appealing. Corduroy excels in warmth retention and moisture absorption because air is trapped within these ridges. Finished with an interior size adjustment tape, it comes in 3 sizes with an adjustable fit.
