Sterkowski Shelby Waxed Cotton Weatherproof Newsboy Cap for Men

This vintage style Shelby cap is crafted from weatherproof waxed cotton supplied by the renowned British Millerain. Established in 1880, Millerain pioneered the use of waxed cotton, which is not only highly breathable but also exceptionally weather-resistant. Thanks to a specialized blend of waxes, the material has a drier feel compared to common waxed fabrics, while retaining its waterproof properties.

The Shelby cap features a narrower crown than the Peaky Blinders model, with the crown sewn down to the visor. A small decorative button adorns the top of the crown. The cap is lined with breathable cotton and includes a cotton sweatband for comfort.

Inspired by the English gang Peaky Blinders, whose members wore very similar caps at the turn of the 20th century in Birmingham, this model captures the vintage essence of that era. The myth of razor blades hidden between the visor and crown, as described in John Douglas's novel "A Walk Down Summer Lane," further adds to the cap's storied heritage.

Crafted in Poland by the family workshop Sterkowski 1926, this Shelby cap is constructed using traditional sewing techniques, ensuring exceptional quality and durability. The waxed cotton fabric is both skin-friendly and highly versatile, making it suitable for elegant, sporty, and casual styles.

Whether you're a gentleman or a lady, this VERY UNIVERSAL cap is an excellent choice that will effortlessly complement your wardrobe. The weatherproof and breathable properties of the waxed cotton material, combined with the cap's vintage-inspired design, make it a practical and stylish accessory for any occasion.
