Brian Johnson of AC/DC is refered to in the flat cap page with a valid citation as wearing a flat cap, not a newsboy cap — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.235.2.87 (talk) 05:22, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

"It has the same overall shape and stiff peak" as WHAT? This needs to be clarifiedMalnova 21:50, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Is this term appropriate? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.211.199.86 (talk) 14:27, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Fisherman's Cap
I noticed that the fisherman's cap is lumped into this article. Is this correct? The fisherman's cap has a distinct band which the newsboy cap lacks. As the fisherman's cap is somewhat of an icon of socialism and quite distinctive, shouldn't it get its own article?

The article also characterizes the newsboy cap as having a stiff peak. Shouldn't the word 'visor' be used as this cap is more traditionally American? It is obviously a close relative of the British flat cap but does have some minor distinctions. It seems that the American cap is more often paneled with a button on the crown while the British cap is, as the name suggests, usually constructed with a single piece of cloth comprising the crown and is, well, flat. It may just be that the articles need to be merged and the (minor) differences discussed there.--SEWalk (talk) 04:21, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
