Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent if needed. Avoid soaking or machine washing, as this may damage the wool fibers and structured shape. If your cap becomes damp, reshape it gently and allow it to air dry naturally—never use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Keep it in a hat box or on a flat surface to maintain its shape. Handle with clean, dry hands to avoid transferring oils or dirt to the fabric.

When measuring for a Herbert Johnson hat, please place string or tape around your head above your ear and across the mid forehead, completely circling your head. Hold the tape firmly, but not too tightly. Measure your head exactly where you want the hat to sit. It may help to either do this in the mirror or have someone to help for accuracy. Measure in centimetres. If your measurement falls between sizes, round up to the nearest half centimetre and/or email your exact measurement to our team and they will be happy to advise you.

A professional measuring service is also available at our Swaine stores on New Bond Street and at the Burlington Arcade.

The newsboy cap became a symbol of the working class in early 20th-century America and Britain. It was popular among laborers, farmers, and urban dwellers, often seen as a practical yet stylish accessory. The style gained popularity in the 1920s and 1930s, especially in films and media, where actors like Charlie Chaplin and later figures such as Michael Caine helped cement its status in popular culture.

In recent years, the newsboy cap has made a strong comeback in fashion, often worn by celebrities and influencers. It has been embraced as a chic accessory that adds a touch of vintage charm to modern outfits.
