Now, it seems leather caps are as much a fashion statement in some circles as top hat used to when worn with a white tie and tailcoat.
Today, wearing leather caps or hats is often regarded as a status symbol. It is sometimes a very costly material and not just for those watching their pennies. Leather caps and leather hats will top off the most fashionable of outfits or be worn in every day situations.
Headwear made of lamb skin, pig skin, cow hide, and other leathers can be found worn by pilots, bankers, executives, motorcycle enthusiasts and more. You even find it in the popular baseball cap styles that are worn all over America on a daily basis.
One of the most popular styles of leather caps is the newsboy cap. It is reminiscent of the caps worn by the newsboys who used to stand on street corners in the 1930's and 1940's, hawking their wares and getting attention in order to sell newspapers. Other styles of leather caps include the ivy, spitfire, beret, apple, and big apple.
So, the next time you are looking for something new think outside of tradition and think about the variety of materials and styles you can choose from.
