Newsboy Cap
The newsboy cap, newsie cap, or baker boy hat (British) is a casual-wear cap similar in style to the flat cap. It has a similar overall shape and stiff peak (visor) in front as a flat cap, but the body of the cap is rounder, made of eight pieces, fuller, and paneled with a button on top, and often with a button attaching the front to the brim (as the flat cap sometimes has). History The style was popular in Europe and North America in the early 20th century among both boys and adult men. As the name suggests, it was at the time associated with newspaper boys. This gives rise to a misunderstanding. It is true that many newspaper boys and other working boys at the time wore flat caps along with other styles. This style was not, however, worn only by boys. Flat caps were very common for North American and European men and boys of all classes during the early 20th century and were almost universal during the 1910s-20s, particularly among the working "lower" classes.

Flat Cap
A flat cap is a rounded cap with a small stiff brim in front, originating in Britain and Ireland. The hat is known in Ireland as a paddy cap; in Scotland as a bunnet; in Wales as a Dai cap; and in the United States as an English cap, Irish cap, or flat cap. Various other terms exist (cabbie cap, driver cap, longshoreman cap, ivy cap, train engineer cap,etc.). Cloths used to make the cap include wool, tweed (most common), and cotton. Less common materials may include leather, linen, or corduroy. The inside of the cap is commonly lined for comfort and warmth. History The style can be traced back to the 14th century in Northern England, when it was more likely to be called a " bonnet". This term was replaced by "cap" before about 1700, except in Scotland, where it continues to be referred to as a ''bunnet'' in Scots. A 1571 Act of the English Parliament was enacted to stimulate domestic wool consumption and general trade. It decreed that on Sundays and holidays, all males o ...

Coppola Cap
The coppola () is a traditional kind of flat cap typically worn in Sicily and Calabria, where is it known as ''còppula'' or ''berretto'', and also seen in Malta, Corsica, and Sardinia (where it came to be known, in the local language, as , , and or , possibly from the Latin ). Today, the coppola is widely regarded, at least in Italy, as an iconic symbol of Sicilian or Calabrian heritage. History One popular theory of the coppola is that it originates in Anglo-Saxon land, where the tradition of civil caps has been found at least since the late 16th century during the reign of the Tudors, when on Sundays and on holidays all males over six years old – with the exception of nobles and high-ranking people – had to wear woolen headdresses produced only and exclusively in England: so, in fact, it provided for an act of parliament of 1571, the short purpose of which was to support the domestic production of wool, thus protecting it from the import of foreign goods.
