hat megathread

[mspark]

i was close...too big for my head though. i may go for the supreme dollar sign polka spotted ugly cap however. or this : http://www.strictlyfitteds.com/blog/?p=1870

i'm pretty sure i've never covetted something this much in my life.

Aight, youve got me there....that's one ugly ass hat.

lol

[homi29]

i have about 8 fitteds right now, i like em and they're sort of addictive, but im cutting back unless its a really something special

[notesee]

does New Era make a fitted in less than a 7? I have a small noggin. preferably a 5950 sereis

Yeah, they make size 6 7/8 which is the smallest. In most stores they don't stock many in that size, so you usually don't have the greatest selection.

[Dead_Wizard]

I have pretty much every Supreme new era from this season and loaded up on Recon ones too. They're addictive but I find myself wearing the same ones every time. The inconsistent sizing can be an issue though, 7 and 1/2 can either be loose or way too tight on me, depends on the materials really.

[Addicted 2 Fresh]

i have alot of supreme new era's from the past seasons. the checkered harvard LA hat being one of my favorites.

[homi29]

yeah i prefer to try em on before i buy now

i wear 7 1/2, though sometimes that feels a bit small depending on materials

[mspark]

Yeah, you def have to try them on in person. I wouldnt buy one over the internet.

this week i picked up this 1917 phillies "road" fitted cap by american needle:

disappointed to find it was made in bangladesh. americana should be manufactured in the USA, no?

[RAISED BY WOLVES]

Other than the pre-curve, that shit looks hot.^^^

I pretty much prefer classic fitteds. I do like some throwbacks, a few new team colorways, and the occasional "streetwear collab" fitted.

I wear a vintage Pirates snapback, or this sick Cream and Black Sox snap back which, coincidentally, is an old New Era from before they were cool.

[Relish]

Kinda late But they make every size they have in 7 [example] 71/8 71/4 etc. in a 6 as well. smallest being 63/8 But that's like a toddler. I work at lids...so you'd probably find your size at the nearest lids. (ADVERTISEMENT!)

im still trying to find that 70's black with yellow stripes pirates cap...like dude in the cosby lookbook.

i got this place that gets in old logo 7 snap backs..ive found some gems.

been happily wearing a kansas city royals fitted new era.

[the_state]

bay area teams hold down new eras... the giants and a's are two of the best looking caps in baseball, along w/ the la dodgers.

[angrypork]

I have about 15 but only really wear about 7 of them. Most of them I got for $15 and under. My favorites that I own are Houston Colt .45s, Red/Yellow NJ logo, Teal MadrasYankees, All White Yankees, Orange/Red/Green NJ logo, and the "Batter Up" Yankees.

Unfortunately it's made by American Needle.

I'm really feeling the new MLB 5950's, because they aren't wool. The wool 5950's start out great, but as sweat and moisture accumulate the hat shrinks up and loses its shape. If only they made the Brooklyn dodgers hat in the synthetic material rather than wool.

Agreed. A's and Dodgers hats are dope.

[the_state]

^^ i only wish i didn't look like a dipshit in fitteds...

[mspark]

I really need to head down to the New Era flaghip store and get one of those synthetic fitteds.

[Larry Bird]

thanks man....+1

Dying for one of those joints in red, seeing as how I've got all the other basic colors. But finding them online or nearby is impossible. Any suggestions?

[john gotty]

Not really a huge Supreme fan and I'm looking for somewhere that I might possibly be able to purchase online.

Forgot to mention in my orig post that Urbanoutfitters has some up for the super low-low...if you don't mind the leather strap/brass buckle combo. I prefer the cloth strap personally.

click on 'spring caps'

you can phone them up and make an order, i've done it before

[john gotty]

^ Just tried to call but if they do take phone orders, I'm about to load up. Let's hope it works.

[rhythmandsound]

yeah they're pretty cheap too...if i remember correctly, wholesale was like $12 each, and it was $15 each for non-store-related orders for phone-in customers...that was a few years back tho

[Cue]

===========

Didn't see any on there unless I just plain overlooked them.

[saw.unit]

well I saw this a while back and am really looking for one now. I found this japanese page that had a lot of different very bright colored hats made out of a lot of different materials. One thing I remembered was that they had slightly shorter hard plastic bills. They were a bit pricey, around 40-60 dollars but now I really want one and have no idea were to find them. anyone know of anything like that?

[home]

Not talking baseball caps, but oldschool short-brimmed hats.

Does this particular style of hat have a name?

That Filipa K hat is about 150 singles, any hats of similar quality/style, but at a better pricepoint?

Brands to scope? Online retailers? etc.

kthnx

[why]

The first picture is a Bowler hat. The second is a fedora, I think.
