If you're a fan of Peaky Blinders, you likely know this style very well. What about Newsboys? Ours tend to be 8 panels or 6 panels, spied easily with an added button on top. They're our top no-fuss option, and the first ones we recommend to our habitual ballcap wearers wanting something new! They tend to not have any excess fabric at the sides of the caps and fit more trim against the head, and so fit in a more familiar fashion. ![]() These were considered more the workman's hat, meant to be part of a gentleman's everyday attire, and today remain easy to pair with even a graphic t-shirt. Pubs like our Belfry Caserta will have the fabric tacked mostly toward the edge of the bill but keep it slightly visible, whereas Duckbills similar to the Wigens Younger are made in such a way that the bill becomes nearly unseen! Tacking the fabric thus is what gives the Duckbills their more swooped profile which-you guessed it-looks like a duck's bill. A quick Belfry Cheat to recognizing these is to pay attention to where the fabric is tacked along the bill and how much of the bill remains visible because of this. What could be considered the more casual counterparts to the Ivy are the Pub and Duckbill cap cuts.

Our Belfry Sarno is a great example of the more trim and modern cut made in this style, and the Wigens Arthur carries the heft of the more classic cut if you prefer that. They're easy to spy because of their flat, wedged shape given by having the single panel of fabric sewn on top, and a secondary thinner panel trimming it to the bill, which is still quite visible. The Ivy (or Ivy League) is likely what we would consider the dressiest of the flat caps. "Flat" cap is the umbrella term you'll likely hear to refer to a fair number of more refined styles and cuts, and luckily enough, they're all appropriate for everyday wear!
