EPOCHMen's Classic 8 Panel Wool Blend Newsboy Snap Brim Collection Hat

The media could not be loaded.  Came on time. Looks good and fits. I’ve had these types of hats before just not multicolored like this one. Definitely recommend this seller.

Finally!!! If you are looking for a genuine "Newspaper Boy's Cap," look no further! This gender-neutral hat does exactly what it is designed to do, and that is "Slouch!"During the 1920's-30's and 40's newspapers and radio news broadcasts were the only source of news. (Certainly during those years "Worrisome News" seemed the "main fare!"). As the men and women cascaded down busy intersections during the morning rush, hoping to beat their bosses to work, they would hear the cracking voices of the young newspaper boys, each challenging the passers-by to stop issuing the call, "Read all about it! Churchill Remains Defiant During London Blitz!" Each of these boys wore caps that had eight panels that met at the crown, being held by a button. With the large beret slouched completely forward so as to nearly cover their hats' beaks, or slid to the side nearly touching either ear, or pitched toward the back, the cap's beak pointing toward the clouds, these newspaper boys proudly introduced themselves without saying a word to those chilled hands that offered a coin in exchange for the news of the day. The boys' cries never ceased. But they were known as being "cocksure," "jaunty", "a swell kid" (!) and "determined! Prob'ly supportin' his fam'ly!" -- all as determined by the unique manner of each boy's "slouch" and how he broke-in the beak (brim) of his cap.There was a day -- not too long distant -- when hat sizes handily matched our shoe sizes. (How? I've no idea, save to say it worked!) I am 5'5" in height and weigh 110 lbs. I am a gal who has loved hats all of her life. Shoe size? Seven. Hat size? Seven. The newspaper boy's hat that you have just found is advertised as being for men; it is not. Ladies -- have at it! I ordered a medium; the fit is perfect, and your look -- as you choose to design it -- will be compelling! Gentlemen? This hat is as unique as are you, so let your "inner kid" come out long enough to play with the "slouch" and the "beak" ... er... "brim." Give us some attitude! Incidentally, the cap is wonderfully comfortable! Strangers will stop you, questioning from where did get "That Great Cap!" That's a promise!I appreciate your time. Be well. --Vibby--

Hat is absolutely beautiful.

Not as busy as it appeared online to me but still an eye catcher

My third Epoch cap. Love the style,materials,comfort and fit of these caps.

This Epoch newsboy cap is the best newsboy cap, in my opinion.I've been a lifetime cap, so I know my caps and how fit is a large part to the look. Only recently have I started getting into the older, more formal Ivy/newsboy caps, and the first I purchased was s Kangol, 504, which is nice. It has more of the lighter feel like a fisherman's hat and doesn't really hold its shape sitting on a surface. However, it maintains it shape on the head fairly nicely, despite the stretch fit, but the Kangol isn't too deep. It's style is also distinct with style choice of the front upper top being sewed onto brim entirely around, so the top sharply ends with the brim, which contributes to the cap being less deep.The Epoch is just right. Feels send fits just like a standard old school baseball cap. Has the traditional style to this design with an actual button to snap the top to brim, the giving room to.envelop the head like a 'cap.' Feels like s standard evolution cap with nice thick wool and a liner that is quilted. All stitched nicely together along with a good, rigid brim. Plus, it's fitted and measures accuratelyAlso, got a Rooster Newsboy wool as the sewn brim really didn't suit my style, angled more to the lax, golfer look. The Rooster is sewn at the brim but has a deep crown to its design that is meant to sitvlowIt's the difference between a nicely tailored suit and a regular store sit low. Its looks and feels like a baseball cap with the top sewn to the brim, which is both what makes this cap appealing and not so, which is why I west this one for casual, baseball cap days.

As for fit, finish, and general quality, this hat is exactly what I had expected and hoped-for. For the price -- especially in comparison to similar hats from the British isles -- this is a great value. (Seams are straight, even and tight; a size "L" fits my (US 7-1/4) head perfectly, with just a little slack.) It also has "just enough" material above the crown that it does not look sloppy but may be shifted to one side or another, a bit like a beret and allowing me to personalize the wear.)The color, however, came as a bit of a negative surprise. I bought a dark gray herringbone tweed pattern, and I thought (from the description and photos) that it was still light enough in color that the pattern could actually be seen from a few feet away.Not true. If you're any farther than 6" away from it, this cap looks like it is a uniform "very dark gray to black" color and the tweed pattern is not visible at all.I am going to keep this hat; and I am probably going to wear it fairly frequently -- especially as fall and winter progress; it is 100% wool and has a nice, quilted lining. But if I want the exact color and appearance that I thought/hoped I was purchasing, I guess I'll have to find another hat!

My husband has a big head and this fit and was not tight. Looks great for the price

Love it. A little different than sellers pictures. That is the pattern was somewhat different. But I love it. Great quality. Comfortable. Nice liner. Holds its shape nicely. Great price and fast delivery to Canada. Couldn't be happier. One of my favorite purchases on Amazon.

Me hice otra idea de cómo quedaría, aunque la esperaba como hongo, el tono es mejor que en pantalla, me gustó mucho y tengo ganas de otra en color rojo

Great

Purchased hat for my father. Its good quality. My father likes how comfortable and warm it is!

Recomiendo las gorras de esta marca Epoch. Son excelentes. He comprado varias gorras Epoch y varias de otras marcas y la marca Epoch es la única que me ha gustado. Mejor corte, buenas medidas, gorras cómodas, buen material. La última que compré es esta gorra invernal. Es muy bonita, cálida y cómoda y a buen precio.
