Need help in identifying a cap

[Nirvana]

Gentlemen,

Over in the jackets forum, I most recently purchased a "Barnstormer" type jacket from Aero Leather company. Now I am in need of a cap or possibly a fedora to go with.

On the inside cover of issue #1 of AERO's booklet STYLE/REVIEW there is a person motoring in the London to Brighton wearing what looks like a tweed NEWSBOY cap.

Has anyone seen this particular cap? Or can someone advise what cap or fedora would be appropriate.

I have searched thru Aron's, and the Herchell Longbill Ivy looks very close.


Thank you, for your replies.

There are several caps out there and the newsboy style goes by more than one name. There is a place called B-Wear Caps or something like that that does some really swell newsboy caps. The maker seems to be able to do the vintage styles really well.

Try here and look around:

There are a couple of cap threads active here in the Lounge at the moment with lots of links and tips, so you should find something you like - thread 1 and thread 2. I wear a brown wool felt 8-piece with my Barnstormer that I found on UK eBay.
