We are particularly fond of this section and take great pride in the following selection. Our family patriarch, Irving Belinsky, had a great selection of ivy caps and newsboy hats that he accumulated from his travels around the world. Because virtually any fabric can be cut-and-sewn into a variation of these two styles, what you find here is a distillation of the vast universe of ivy and newsboy caps in the world. Note: Newsboy hats were known as eight-quarter caps (aka 8/4 Cap) in the hat industry named because of the eight triangular panels or sections that meet in the center of the crown usually with a button or pom-pom at their vortex. Pay attention to the details in the descriptions e.g. lined or unlined, one snap or two snaps joining the crown to the bill.

On January 21st, 2002, we received this email from a customer whose girlfriend purchased a newsboy cap for him for Christmas: "Well, after 15 years, I am getting married to Miss Brenda .... and its all your fault. It was that (expletive deleted) hat you sold her. I have to wear it just to keep her happy, and when I do, well she just attacks me. I am worn out. She has broken all my resistance. So there, you now have another story to put on the Village Hat Shop web site. Tell all women that if they want to catch their man, then this is the hat to buy."

Like a Surgeon General's warning, we thought you may need to see this.
