Team Swag: Custom Ebbets Flannel hats

[amanufacturedlie]

diggin this idea

[lumberjack]

someone explain the hype behind these hats

[pepper davies]

They look damn good with a pair of NB.

[fre-co]

Can we get NB on the hat?

[Pavlov's Bell]

^I'm thinkin, like, this... but on a Ebbets

[Spaghettini]

i will get down on this if i can get one to fit my massive dome

[ninetynine]

Marbled gray (charcoaly) w/ a navy brim, navy vent stitching, grey button, creme patch/logo.

Yay/nay?

That could be cool

Or we could do something more tonal and dark so everyone could wear it

Like Asphalt, navy brim, no pinstriping, Asphalt button and maroon logo.

Even just a Maroon "S" in a good typeface would be cool

[sea bass]

while i definitely don't get alot of the menswear blog hype posts/products, this is one i can get behind ...

i've worn ebbets fitteds pretty much exclusively for a while now because i love how unstructured they are, making them form fit to your head after a while (the crown on new eras looks ridiculous, imo). i can throw one of these in a bag, my pockets, etc. and never have to worry about it getting all fucked up. the wools are super soft, and the brim is the perfect size (satin underneath is a great touch).

i think it would be important to keep this hat SIMPLE, as that's the beauty of these things. i'm talking 2 colors, TOPS. no crazy branding, no script all over the place.

I like that. S for swag.

Anyone want to recommend a typeface or take a stab at designing one?

[BRICK DOM]

Also pretty interested ... though I think they're actually less than 48 bucks if you do a group order. I could be wrong though.

It says on the site:

Ballcaps: We can make custom historic, fitted wool ballcaps in production runs of as few as 24 pieces. Single-piece custom caps are sometimes possible (felt lettering treatments only).Single-piece custom caps are generally $48.

By the looks of that, ordering just one custom cap would cost you $48.

Or maybe I'm just retarded.

Hence the "cursory glance" disclaimer. Good catch. Cheaper hats = more money for balancing my life in new ways

[jwsach]

ehhh?

[16steps]

dont want it to look like a giants cap

[Pavlov's Bell]

i like the single S idea a lot, definitely in a non Giants-esque font.

[phive-oh-won]

I think I'd be down for this... and ditto on it not looking like a Giants cap

[ejm285]

might want in, depends on the colorway and hat shape though

supreme did a single S on one of their fitteds, ebbets has some as well

[ninetynine]

Sorry if this is sloppy but I was thinking an S like this

Or maybe a little wider if you want. that can lay right down the front center of the hat like a baseball teams logo.

[homi29]

I'm in charcoal or maroon

green or grey underbill (ala earlier MLB on-field caps)

[homi29]

never owned an ebbetts why all the hype, do they fit way better than New Era?

In on Maroon or like a speckled grey with grey or green underbill

What font is superfuture logo could we use that S?

[Pavlov's Bell]

^def needs to be wider but that's a great start.

I like these typesets too if we want something more out of the box...

[Pavlov's Bell]

Yeah they're like New Era's except you dont look like a douche wearing one. No boxy, giant brim BS. They have a old, worn in, totally unstructured feeling without looking "vintage".

[Lendo]

Down for this. I'd personally prefer single, darker colors.

Because i'm depressed and whatnot.

[16steps]

Maroon, navy and grey seem to be the color front-runners

+ on the green underside of brim

[sea bass]

heather gray cap

navy brim

green underside

logo could be maroon or cream?

[phive-oh-won]

^I agree with this dude

[conqueror]

i will get down on this if i can get one to fit my massive dome

+ if people outside the US are allowed to get one, too.

[gettoasty]

is there a count yet of how many are signing up for this?

[snuff_daddy]

count me in ...

^^this

another idea: the polobear with the ro dunks (9,671)

[jwsach]

All black hat, black S. and someone send them some leopard fabric to put under the brim.
