Sterkowski Shelby Waxed Cotton Newsboy Cap for Men

This vintage-style Shelby cap is crafted from weatherproof waxed cotton supplied by the renowned British Millerain company, established in 1880 and renowned as a pioneer of waxed cotton fabrics. Unlike common waxed fabrics, the unique blend of waxes used gives this cap a drier feel while still providing exceptional weather-resistant properties. Waxed cotton is not only highly breathable but also waterproof, making this cap a practical and versatile choice.

The cap features a narrower crown compared to the Peaky Blinders model, with the crown sewn down to the visor. A small decorative button adorns the top of the crown, adding a touch of subtle elegance. Inside, the cap is lined with breathable cotton and features a comfortable cotton sweatband for all-day wear.

This newsboy-style cap is inspired by the iconic caps worn by members of the Peaky Blinders gang in Birmingham, England, at the end of the 19th century. The design is said to have been influenced by a myth surrounding the gang, where they allegedly hid razor blades between the visor and crown of their caps, as described in John Douglas's novel, "A Walk Down Summer Lane."

Crafted in Poland by the family-owned Sterkowski workshop, established in 1926, this cap exemplifies traditional sewing technology and attention to detail. The combination of high-quality, skin-friendly materials and time-honored manufacturing techniques ensures a durable and comfortable accessory that can be enjoyed by both ladies and gentlemen.

Whether paired with elegant attire, sporty ensembles, or casual outfits, this versatile Shelby cap is a timeless and practical choice. Its weather-resistant properties make it suitable for a variety of outdoor activities, while its classic design effortlessly complements a wide range of personal styles.
