Our take · Researched, not tested

A brown eight-panel newsboy in wool blend, plain and proper.

By Walt Mercer, felt, fit and care desk Pen name, fact-checked by our team

The newsboy cap got its name from the boys who sold papers on city street corners a century or so back, and the shape hasn't changed much since. This one is a lightweight wool and polyester blend in brown, built from eight panels that gather at a button on top. It has no band, just a sewn-in sweatband inside. Brown goes with tweed, corduroy and a plain sweater. S/M is the size in stock right now.

Walt's tip: Pull the front panel forward so it sits just above the brow. Worn too far back, a newsboy looks like it's leaving.

Questions

Which size of the Argo should I get?

It comes in S/M. S/M fits heads 22 1/8 to 22 3/4 in on American Hat Makers' chart. Between sizes, size up and use an insert.

Is the Argo enough for sun?

Not on its own. A cap or peak shades your eyes but leaves your ears and neck exposed, as MD Anderson points out. Add sunscreen, or pick a brimmed hat for long days outside.

Can you wash the Argo?

Check the care label on the store page first. Most fabric hats take a gentle hand wash in cool water and air drying on a bowl or balled towel so the crown keeps its shape. Skip the dryer.

Can you return it?

Per American Hat Makers, as stated on their site Nov 6, 2026, it offers 90-day easy returns. Policies change, so confirm on the store's page before you order.

Do you sell this hat?

No. American Hat Makers sells it. The store button opens their product page, and we earn a commission if you buy, at no cost to you.
