Some history for you:

The style was popular in Europe and North America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries among both boys and adult men. As the name suggests, it is now associated with newspaper boys.

This gives rise to a misunderstanding. It is true that many newspaper boys and other working boys wore flat caps, along with other styles. This style was not, however, worn only by boys. Flat caps were very common for North American and European men and boys of all classes during the early 20th century and were almost universal during the 1910s-20s, particularly among the working 'lower' classes.

Many great photographs of the period show these caps worn not only by newsboys, but by dockworkers, high steelworkers, shipwrights, costermongers, farmers, beggars, bandits, artisans, and tradesmen of many types. This is also well attested in novels and films of this period and just after.

The Gatsby cap, so called, or newsboy cap or newsy cap, is a casual-wear cap similar in style to the flat cap. It has the same overall shape and stiff peak in front of a flat cap, but the body of the cap is rounder, fuller, and panelled with a button on top, and often with a button attaching the front to the brim (as the flat cap sometimes has).

While they were worn by boys and men of all social classes, they were worn by the 'upper' classes primarily for leisure activities, and the style became associated with well-to-do country sportsmen, drivers and wealthy golfers.
