JSngry Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Why is it called a "Baker Boy"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertoart Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Also known as 'newsboy'. I know them as 'baker boy'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsboy_cap http://www.polyvore.com/urban_excess_bretton_baker-boy_hat/thing?id=42946394 plus this Trivia The Baker Boy is also known as a Newsboy cap, an Apple Cap, a six pence, an Eight-Panel, a Cabbie, a Jay Gatsby, a Fisherman's Cap, and a Lundburg Stetson. The Baker Boy is commonly associated with newspaper boys, also called newsboys or newsies, and this association is referenced in the item's description.

JSngry Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I've lived a life without any real experience with newsboys in hats or bakerboys in hats, so the "real world" reference eluded me completely. Sorry, and thanks for the elucidation. Would there have been some practical functionality for an item so roomy of obtrusion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I think I knew them as Big Apple caps, but perhaps not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
