The newsboy cap

The newsboy cap is named after the newspaper boys who famously wore it in the late 19th- and early 20th century. They were popular among the working class, but could be seen worn by all social classes. The men of the upper class often wore newsboy caps for leisure and sporting activities. 

Traditionally, it has 6 or 8 panels with a front peak. The shape varies from slim fit to wide. The wide shape is sometimes referred to as the applejack style cap, Gatsby cap, poor boy cap, paperboy cap, etc. 

Newsboy caps are most often made from wool, leather, linen, or cotton.

In Scandinavia, these hats are often called "sixpence". The term sixpence can be considered a pseudo-anglicism, i.e. a word which is apparently an English loanword (anglicism), but which either does not exist in ordinary English or has a different meaning. The word sixpence probably derives from the original price of the hats.
