The Gatsby cap is a cap similar in style to the more common flat cap. It has the same overall shape and stiff peak in front, but the body of the cap is rounder, fuller, puffier, and it has a button in the very center. The style was popular in the early twentieth century and is sometimes associated with wealthy golfers; golfers are often portrayed in Gatsby caps for comic effect. Recently the cap has been more popular with women than with men.
