Failsworth Hudson Mix Newsboy Cap

Failsworth Hudson Mix Cap

The Failsworth Hudson Mix Cap is a six-panel newsboy cap with the distinctive rounded shape associated with the classic bakerboy style. Its mixed wool-blend outer combines different textures and tones across the panels, giving the cap more visual character than a conventional flat cap.

The six-panel construction creates the fuller crown that separates the Hudson Mix from a traditional flat cap. A covered popper on top completes the classic newsboy design, while the sewn-down brim keeps the peak neatly attached to the front of the cap. The result combines a traditional silhouette with a relatively streamlined profile.

The contrasting panel textures add interest to the fabric without relying on bold branding, making the Hudson Mix easy to pair with country and casual clothing.

Inside, the cap has a diamond-quilted lining made from 100% BCI cotton and an internal sweatband. The cotton lining provides a soft inner layer, while the sweatband sits around the inside edge of the cap. The fully lined construction gives the six-panel crown a finished interior as well as adding structure to the design.

Unlike a classic flat cap, the Hudson Mix uses six panels and a crown-mounted popper to create its fuller newsboy profile. That construction, combined with the sewn-down brim, mixed wool-blend fabric and removable side pin, gives this cap its distinctive character.
