Baker Boy Caps
Baker boy hats have a slightly more rounded crown like a sectioned schoolboy hat rather than flat workman’s caps of the 1900s, but they are usually puffier than a baseball cap. A baseball cap also has a much larger sun protecting visor peak.
Baker boy hats are also known as schoolboy caps .
The crown of a Baker boy hat is divided into segments which helps achieve a good round shape and this is one of the easy hats in the field of millinery to sew yourself.
Some people call these caps John Lennon caps, but Lennon caps are flatter like a workman or seaman’s cap. The Beatles made such hats popular at the time, but the wearing of hats by men was already in decline in the 1960s. Less rigid social attitudes, better transport and hooded garments like duffle
coats and anoraks all helped in the demise of the hat.
