Wool-free newsboy caps?

[tylerevansokay]

I'm in the market for a wool-free or synthetic wool newsboy cap. Looking for one similar in cut to the one pictured below...

Thanks in advance for any help.

Check with Brett at B!Wear. He offers his caps in a pretty wide selection of fabrics, and will likely use whatever you want if he doesn't already have it in stock:

There are always plenty of cheap acrylic (fake wool) newsboy caps on eBay.

I have one in linen from Hannah Hats. Worth a look.

Mine is so old the lining has come out... But have you considered suede? Mine is made of fine, smooth suede as opposed to rough thick stuff. It's a hand-me-down from my Dad, and could be a Dorfman Pacific. Not the least bit itchy but still an animal product.

Why don't you want wool? What properties are you looking for in the hat? Hatpeople also has a few made in non-wool fabrics.

I've had two fleece "driving caps" or "flat caps" with built in, fold up, ear flaps and while they are not the warmest caps, they were very comfortable.
Do an Internet search for fleece products and you may find that someone is still making them.

Are the linen caps at all heavyweight? The only ones I have are by Dobbs; they're so floppy they float on my head like chefs' tuques. Or worse; the tuques are usually pretty crisp.

The linen is a summer weight fabric. Hannah's flat caps have a firm bill and the rest of the cap is soft and flexible.
