This product is made from a GOTS certified fabric.
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) is an international eco-label for natural fibers. It regulates the restriction of harmful substances and emissions throughout the production chain.
The certification is based on two main principles. It requires natural fibers to be certified organically grown according to EU directives and it requires controls throughout the production chain of the organic cotton. Each process step (spinning, weaving/knitting, preparation, etc.) must meet specific criteria, taking the utmost account of the environment at each stage. This means:
- The raw material is organically grown without pesticides
- The product does not contain chemicals hazardous to health and the environment
- Water quality in the farm is protected
- workers are paid a fair living wage
- The product is of a certain quality (for example, in terms of wear and shrinkage)
To measure your hat size, wrap a tape measure around your head just above your ears. The tape should fit comfortably – not too tight. Round up to the nearest size.
If you have no tape measure, you can measure with a string, which you then measure with a ruler.

The name comes from the boys who worked selling newspapers on the streets in the late 19th century. In the UK, the model was called Baker Boy cap, but the truth is that the cap was used by more than just "Newsboys" and "Bakerboys". All men, especially from the working class, could wear this type of cap during the heyday of the early 20th century.
The Newsboy cap has a rounder, more generous and bolder shape than, for example, a Flat cap. The iconic shape of the cap is sewn from eight pieces of fabric and has a button in the middle.
Our caps have a handmade quality and timeless style. We always start from traditional shapes, patterns and materials and then adapt them to a contemporary expression.
