Get ready to embrace the heart of Irish heritage with our Gatsby Charcoal Newsboy Cap. Originally worn by Irish workers and later adopted by stylish gents everywhere, this iconic eight-panel cap adds a sense of cultural significance to any wardrobe. The curved peak adds a bit of flair while still protecting you from the harsh weather.
Made from 100% genuine Donegal tweed, this cap offers cozy comfort for your everyday wear, while staying true to the traditional craftsmanship of Ireland. Donegal tweed is an organic, high-quality yarn that’s been spun, dyed, and woven right in Donegal using techniques passed down through generations. Whether you’re battling a crisp, rainy day or enjoying mild weather, this wool is water-repellent, breathable, and durable, making it a go-to choice for any season.
What really gives this cap its charm is the timeless herringbone pattern, a design that’s been a staple in Irish textiles for centuries. Irish weavers have perfected this design, which mimics the bones of a herring fish, a tribute to the prolific fishing industry on the islands. The colors are inspired by Donegal's rugged beauty, with greens, greys, and earthy tones reminiscent of its rolling hills and misty coastlines.
This cap is even more special being authentically Irish—made right in Galway, following the very same techniques that have been part of the textile’s history for centuries.
