[ReasonRumRunners]

I'm looking for some good quality ones. There used to be this guy in the west village who had ones that were almost identical to the supreme caps but no more. Can anybody steer me in the right direction? Mabye online? Thanks in advance

search the catalog online, they're in there. i think they might've been the ones that used to manufacture Supreme's hats.

they say they don't sell to individuals, but just call them up and order a few if you have to, they're only $15 a pop

^ So, I can just call them and place an order for like 2 caps? Ive been looking for a dope quality 5 panel.

Do they have those stupid vents on the side?

[rhythmandsound]

might be able to order just a couple, or might have to spring for 3 or 4, not sure.

depending on the style, they may have the circular metal vent on either side, but those ain't bad...

Theres a place on 8th st right by 6th ave that has em.

What does the back of the hat look like, is it a leather strap? Does anyone have any other pics?

[rhythmandsound]

new york hat co 'polo' style 5-panel hats have a leather strap, but the 'camp' caps have the nylon strap w/clip, just like the supreme ones

[eldave04]

Does anyone have one of these, or has anyone seen one in person? I am trying to get an idea of the quality, I also wish I knew if they have those huge vents on the sides like the army surplus ones.

theres a few street vendors in soho you may wanna check out, they cost like $5 and look ok, otherwise how about lidz or lids not sure of the name, there is one in times square...they have a huge assortment of plain caps aswell as others.

they are basic quality-yes they have the screen vents on the side....not sure if they will sell to individuals though??

if you look in their catalog on their website you can see what they look like: the solid color ripstop cotton ones have the army surplus style vents, but the patterned ones, like the plaid ones or whatnot, have the normal two small holes, like the supreme hats. The polo hats w/the leather strap sometimes have small holes (most of them) and sometimes have vents (i think the denim ones they did had vents), just check the pics. They do sell to individuals (even tho they may say they don't): i've bought some from them once, but i bought 4 of them in one go (i prob could've just bought 3 tho). Just phone them up...the woman i talked to basically ran the joint and she was very nice.

ps, the construction is the same is supreme's 5-panel camp caps, but imo the quality is not as good: the bills are not as stiff, and the lining around the rim on the inside is thinner and not as absorbent if you're sweating in them. the sick thing about them, tho, is that the shape and fit is -exactly- the same as the classic supreme 5-panels prior to 2003.
