Trivia

• The Baker Boy is also known as a Newsboy cap, an Apple Cap, a six pence, an Eight-Panel, a Cabbie, a Jay Gatsby, a Fisherman's Cap, and a Lundburg Stetson.
• The Baker Boy is commonly associated with newspaper boys, also called newsboys or newsies, and this association is referenced in the item's description.

[JSngry]

I've lived a life without any real experience with newsboys in hats or bakerboys in hats, so the "real world" reference eluded me completely. Sorry, and thanks for the elucidation.

Would there have been some practical functionality for an item so roomy of obtrusion?

[GA Russell]

I think I knew them as Big Apple caps, but perhaps not.
