Bonnie And Clyde Style Newsboy...Where??

[Technonut]

Does anyone know where to purchase a newsboy cap like Warren Beatty wore in Bonnie And Clyde? I really like how the long bill looks on the cap. Here are some pics of it... TIA....

Looks to me like a regla ol one-button newsboy, but that Mr Beatty is perhaps wearing a cap that is slightly too small, and wearing it pulled down onto his head further than it should be. The result being that the stiff peak is more visible from beneath the floppy crown than normal, and the button is tugging on the crown.

That's how it looks to me, but I might experiment with my own.

...OK I've tried my own, and I think the main difference with Beatty's (spelled it wrong the first time ) is that the button that attaches the crown to the peak is set further back on the peak, so more peak can protrude than on most of the ones I have seen.

Having just played around, I seem to be able to get a similar effect from wearing a normal newsboy, and then once its on my head, pushing the top of the crown (where that little knobbly thing on top is) towards the back of my head.

Dunno if that makes sense to anybody else. It's 5am here.

I just placed an order for a newsboy cap from Hat People; looking forward to the results. I guess I'm just hesitant because I know how hard it can be to buy a hat online that you can't try on before buying; still, I have been considering one of these for several months.

Here's another possibility

The Dobbs Wellington Newsboy cap looks pretty similar. Here's a link: http://www.hatsinthebelfry.com/hatstore/newsboy-caps.html

I got the deep cut in the linen fabric. It was a close call though because I really like the Heather Gray fabric too. Perhaps if the first hat goes well, I shall get a second.

Thanks deanglen and Technonut. Glad to be of assistance.

Dean you know that i have an interest in the period 1870-1900 and it was when looking for a cap representing this period i stumpled upon Hatpeople. I have not bought anything from them (yet).

I need to give Hatpeople a try, myself, although B!Wear is also tempting.

Hatpeople should perhaps consider new models to wear some of their designs.
