Failsworth Gino Melton Newsboy Cap

Failsworth Gino Melton Newsboy Cap

The Failsworth Gino Melton Newsboy Cap combines an eight-piece bakerboy shape with a wool-rich Italian Melton outer. Its rounded crown and central popper give it the traditional full profile associated with a classic newsboy cap, while the sewn-down brim keeps the front neatly defined.

The outer fabric contains 62% wool, 27% polyester, 7% polyamide and 4% acrylic. The wool-rich Melton construction gives the cap a substantial fabric with a smooth, dense appearance, making it particularly well suited to country and winter clothing.

The eight-piece construction creates the Gino’s fuller crown, with the individual panels meeting beneath the covered popper at the centre. This is a key difference from a traditional flat cap, which uses a flatter crown. The short sewn-down brim completes the classic bakerboy profile without adding unnecessary detail.

Inside, the Failsworth Gino Melton Newsboy Cap has a quilted lining made from 100% recycled polyester and an internal sweatband. The quilted lining gives the inside a finished construction, while the sweatband runs around the inner edge of the cap where it sits against your head.
