A vintage style Shelby cap, made of weatherproof waxed cotton from the greatest British Millerain. Waxed cotton is not only very breathable, but also has exceptional weather-resistant properties. Thanks to a special blend of waxes, it has a drier feel than common waxed fabrics and is waterproof. British Millerain was established in 1880, since then it became a pioneer of waxed cotton.
Shelby has a narrower crown than the Peaky Blinders model, it is also sewn down to the visor. On the top of the crown there is a small decorative button. Cap is lined with a breathable cotton and has a cotton sweatband inside.
This model of newsboy cap is inspired by the English gang Peaky Blinders. Members of Peaky Blinders gang wore very similar caps, at the end of the 19th century, in Birmingham. After John Douglas's novel, A Walk Down Summer Lane, arised a myth about razor blades hidden between visor and crown of their caps. Those sharp razor blades were supposed to be used as a weapon, causing wounds or blindness of their victims.

Meets all Expectations
I received my Shelby waxed cotton newsboy hat today. I ordered size 58 to fit my head size. Not all hat makers offer this size, so I was pleased that Sterkowski has more specific sizing. My hat fits perfectly with just the right amount of ease. The look of the Shelby is tailored and less exaggerated than a wider newsboy. The fabrication is lightweight and attractive. The quality of workmanship is par excellence…..I should know, as I have sewn for some 48 years now. This hat has a tasteful and conservative touch of elegance that anyone can choose as one of their favorite hats.

Waxed cotton shelby in black, more colours please ?
I Recently brought the waxed cotton version of the shelby ( in black) for a work hat to obviously keep my head dry ?, I already own 2 Harris tweed shelbys and a wool shelby, if I'm not at work I'm wearing one of them as absolutely love these caps, and will definitely be ordering more colours, perfect fit and finish and so cool looking, I get so many compliments,, also the dry wax feels like normal cotton not wet and greasy like traditional waxed cotton, my only negative in only my opinion is I wish there was more colours in the waxed version as black seems to hid all the cool ridges and details unless you are in bright light etc, they do a blue version but my company uniform is green so blue wouldn't work etc, other than that, 100%recommend, sterkowski, please do a light grey and a dark grey version, even a mid/ dark green version, Or just thought, how about an option with the cotton shelbys that you can have it waxed... For additional cost,, excellent company, excellent products, excellent customer service, 5 stars all day long

Shelby blue
The hat looks great, the material is breathable, yet still effective in the rain. I’m still getting used to the Sterkowski fit in certain hats. It doesn’t hug my head like I’m used to, but I think I’m just getting used to a fit whereas I forget I actually have a hat on—which is really a good thing.

Good hat
Like the other hats from Sterkowski, this is well made, fits well, comfortable, and pleasant to look at. The wax isn't noticeable as I've seen on waxed barn coats, but the waxed hat repelled water when I wore it recently during rain.
