From DOUBLE DIAMOND and originating in 19th-century Britain and Ireland, the NEWSBOY CAP, also known as the Baker Boy cap, became popular among working-class boys on newspaper rounds. Flat caps were the original uniform of the newsboys and became a staple piece of workwear on the railway and for factory workers. Since then, the adoption of the newsboy cap as an accessory has endured among sportsmen, drivers, and the gentry.

The use of moleskin as a working fabric was heavily adopted in Europe in the 19th century, with widespread use throughout France. Typically, moleskin is a dense cotton cloth that is sheared and brushed on one side to create a plush nap, resembling the texture of a mole's skin—hence its name. The soft and substantial weight made moleskin jackets and trousers favored choices for farmers and outdoorsmen seeking warmth and wind resistance. Its tight weave also made it a suitable protective layer in factory settings where workers were likely to come into contact with sparks or hot metals.

Salt & Pepper fabric is typically created using heather yarn, but the effect can also be achieved with resist or discharge printing techniques. These methods allow for the creation of repeated stripes or patterns by either preventing the dye from taking in specified areas or by removing dye from the fabric via oxidation.

The traditional Japanese method of dyeing fabrics, known as Katazome, is achieved by applying a resist paste through a stencil. Pigment application can be done by hand painting, complete immersion, or a combination of both.

The DOUBLE DIAMOND PRINTED NEWSBOY CAP features meticulously reproduced details, including a traditional 8-panel round crown design, flat visor, lined band, and all-cotton stitching.
