Wow! Great cap. Lawrence & Foster, in Yorkshire, will make you a wonderful hand tailored News Boy for about 43 pounds. Found this cap maker to be a way better deal than the boys in London. Some of London store caps may be actually made in China. What? My cap has a label saying MADE IN YORKSHIRE - ENGLAND. Enjoy your cap.Anyone likes newsboy caps? I do... but I'd look like a peakyblinder ... maybe...
They sure are nice looking caps. Could well be made in Germany. My Google search tells me that the Stetson cowboy hat is made in the USA, but can't find any reference to their newsboy caps. They list Italian and Swiss material for some but no mention of where they are made.I believe Stetson caps are made in Germany.
I would hate to think that Stetsons were made anywhere but the U.S.A.They sure are nice looking caps. Could well be made in Germany.

Stetson hats were once made in Philadelphia and all the men who worked at their gigantic factory there were required to wear a hat to work. A friend's father, who was a machinist and differentially not a white collar kind of guy, religiously wore his hat to work every day.
So, those great looking Stetson caps are being made in Germany. Thanks for finding that info.
That's a great story. Thanks.I have an ancient Stetson hat that I bought from an Amish kid that was hanging in a barn for $5 in 1995. I used it for years in an historical Old West reenactment group. Weathered & covered in about a pound of bonafide cows&%$ it is. I finally removed the liner as it was so worn. I "discovered" rather quickly why beavers spend most of their time in cold water as that hat sure is hot during Summer!!
The first, and most famous Stetson hat of the Old West, was the legendary Boss of the Plains hat:
