It takes about an hour but not too crazy. Totally worth itY’all using seam rippers on the NE logo? I might have to YouTube it and see how easy it is. I might do a few of mine.
The shape and form on a lot of them are goodIt takes about an hour but not too crazy. Totally worth it
sorry Guccishades the general new quality is trash.
briannnnn try to hold back 3-5 years. It’s not worth it. Popularity is at an all time high but these caps are trash.
Weird times we’re in.
Still fireSorry wrong thread on the don shorts
Lol thanksStill fire
I value your input I will burn both instantlyJays and shorts are trash
Any specific seam ripper?
Might do a huge NY logo with all my Yankees hat. We'll see how bored I get with this quarantine.
That’s a stretch, most team Jordan’s and fusion jordans worseI'm cool with the Just Don shorts but those 80's style mall cups shorts are wack.
Those 3s are one of the worst Jays of all time, I can't believe they actually released that ****.

I still have two grey underbrim Yankee hats that are unworn and a made in USA black underbrim Yankees unworn. Going to try and keep these in as best condition as possible.
I still remember the time the Made in China ones were so bad in terms of fit and lint attraction that that became the reason I avoided them. I would only buy hats in store and literally look for the tag to read "Made in USA" before buying, haha.
I had figured out how to tell them apart just by sticker alone (made in USA models tended to have a slight greenish shade of gold) but it became harder and harder to find hats in my size made in the states.
It's been a minute since I bought a new hat and I feel so out of the loop going through this thread, I can't keep up with the new trends
As for seam rippers I bought a cheap one at either Rite Aid or Duane Reade/Walgreens.
Retail to maybe $55 tops. The new hype boyz aren’t into on fields. They want the colored unders and life size side patches.Are new wool grey brim Yankees from 2005ish worth anything?
i remember my first Chinese made on field. The poly looked exactly like this
A literal lint trap. I actually think they’ve gotten better over the years but not by much. This first or second year Chinese poly was thick, had no true fuzz, and was not flexible at all. Chinese made at its worst imho.
The Yankees were one of the first teams to really get large scale production in China for on fields. Even before derby closed, finding a USA made Yankees (and even Mets) was a daunting task. This is going back like 8 years at this point.
Even player caps have been found to be made in China too. So it’s not exclusive to consumers. I feel grey under Yankees are easier to find than MUSA black under polys.
i meant to say you should Go back 3-5 years for yankee caps. The year they got the side flag was a big year for imported caps. Many were made in USA but had the crappy materials, so a non flagged Yankees has a better chance at fitting better.
I think I have two Bangladesh hats. They fit terrible. They’re extremely boxy with nasty materials. And the size tag means nothing anymore. Made in China caps are the new USA. You’d be better off with a Chinese wool custom grey under then any 2018,2019, or 2020 yankee on field
Guccishades I get on HC a lot but I am a bit impressed with the fit and look of some of their newer releases. They are really polishing what should be boxy turds. They have one of the better factories working with them it appears.
A lot of lids fashion caps are just Terribly built. I was expecting the worst from them when derby closed. I’d still like to stay away from their Bangladesh hats. But their made in China are about as good as you’ll get. The shape on 70% of their caps looks close to what derby USA would do for them. 4ucap and even ecap and my fitteds over the years have had questionable quality Chinese made caps. For the new retail of $40-$45, they better be higher class, and I think they are close.
Non mlb caps such as milb and NCAA were notorious for having crappy crowns and bad craftsmanship overall. These were all made overseas. Today’s HC exclusives are a tad bit above that, so there is a glimmer of hope.
I own a few cooperstown collection mlb hats and they’re made overseas with a side flag. Now those were low grade customs. HC is at least trying here. I’ll give them credit.
speaking of shape, how have I never stumbled on this guy
When people tak about boxy or high crown, this guy has good examples in how to reshape them. Game changing info. I have a ton of hats I don’t wear enough because they’re too high crown
The biggest issue now is sizing. Anything from 2012 onward Has questionable sizing, usa or overseas made.

Tldr. HC used to make caps that resembled mlb on fields, and not the cheap cooperstown looking knock offs. Now they’re a bit in between.
