Newsboy Caps

Often referred to as Newsboy caps or flat caps this style was worn by men and boys throughout the Victorian period.  All of these are dry-cleanable or hand washable in cold water since the fabrics have been pre-shrunk for you.  Niether plastic nor cardboard is used to make these. Each will have a size tag sewn into it, making it easy to fit background artists or cast members quickly. These particular caps have been sold to other shows, but you can order your own Newsboy caps by contacting Easel Incorporated.  They can be made within a few days, depending on the size of your order, and in a wide variety of wool or other fabrics.  You may also supply fabrics if you need something very specific.  The average price is $270 for an absolutely unique piece.
