VINTAGE CONDITION SHOP MORE VINTAGE HATS Shop more Fall & Winter Hats IS IT A FLAP CAP OR A NEWSBOY Flat Cap vs NewsboyThe names newsboy and flat caps are often used interchangeably since both are usually made from tweed.  However, there are some differences. Newsboy caps are a bit puffier with a small brim and made with eight section of fabric.  On the top, a button out of the same fabric connects the sections. Flat caps, as the name suggests, is flatter, without the top button and no separate brim.  In addition to tweet, flat caps are made from other fabrics and leather.    Either way, caps are fun and flattering look for both men and women.
