Post Your New Eras*59-Fiftys*etc... VOL. INFINITY NOW W/ Henz0/Thunderchunk/Icy's FAQ ON PG.1

White domes are sitting HARD. Contemplating a few but I just know, two summer wears and these are toast. They’re for people who want to collect and not wear is what I always told myself about white crowned caps. All these designs would be great with their basic team color crowns. I need some normal twins M caps to pop up.

Anyone hit on the topperz release a day or two back on the two tone swinging kitty? Their releases are beyond random
I don't think they're sitting - it was just a ****-show of a release. Couldn't ATC for forever. Sizes are vanishing pretty regularly. Even if it shows a FSR on the New Arrivals page when you click through to the item sizes are gone.
 
I couldn't checkout for like the first five minutes. Eventually I was able to cop 2/3 that I wanted which were the Rockies and Cardinals... The angels hat had sold out by the time I could checkout
 
Took about 10 minutes to check out, had to run over to my laptop lol. Finally get a white Mets cap. Wanted to try for the Rays but that **** took too long as it is I gotta get back to work lol
 
snkrfollower snkrfollower interesting. Yeah. I was able to add to cart but that doesn’t mean much these days when it’s oos at the last checkout page. These are some great designs i wish they would have dedicated to basic team colors. Has HC ever done a regular swinging kitty? I’m mad I missed topperzs.

Regarding country of origin, HC used to be usa made but had to shift when derby closed. They shifted to China and then later bangladesh

Personally speaking, Bangladesh poly is inferior to everything else out there between China poly, China wool, and Bangladesh wool and bang poly. I agree with the other guy here, Bangladesh are boxier, and I feel the poly is just not textured great. The closest thing to American caps of old is China wool. I made a post about some Oakland caps a few weeks back. They are also stitched differently on the bill, so some like one look versus the other.


Let us not jump into the other country of origins. There’s Laos, Vietnam, and Haiti. 95% of these customs are Bangladesh or China, so I tend to focus there.

Yeah meng, she coming home with me. Will post pics when it lands. I would nominate that cap as best kitty of the year so far.

I think the 10-year anniversary would be a good time to bring this back :nerd:

They need to bring this back. It's the only one I'm gonna be able to cop a pure white crown hat. Those are so hard to come by, when they do drop they sell out immediately and even when I hit the resale market there are never any in my size. I did the off white crowns but it would b nice to get pure white just once lol

Nice. And it looks like HH also had one in team colors come out as a two tone, along with a guardians wing logo (the first of its kind on a new era 5950). Someone here asked about that logo awhile back.

Others need to bite these two designs precisely and just open the flood gates. Both were gone within the hour. I’m not used to every site selling out within minutes.

You got me regretting my purchases lol. I'm gonna stick to topperzone and crownminded from here on out
 
Speaking of topperzone is there anyway to get alerts for their drops? Whenever they drop I'm always late, I follow them on IG and have post notifications on but IG never notifies me. I'm usually able to cop anyway but there ar times when I miss out on something I really want.

They’re “off-white” instead of that bright white, so I think they’re good for a few wears lol. Still looking for the ivory Mets joint they did

If you haven’t noticed now, don’t make me the Debbie
Downer to ruin it all. Enjoy what you like. I tried to keep track of the pickups I get and country of origins and materials, and it’s honestly a crap shoot/toss up. Of 4, 2 from topperz will be China, while another 2 are Bangladesh. HC for awhile was almost 90% Bangladesh, but I recently had a good Chinese run. I don’t think any one site is exclusive to one country of origin, although some tend to state it more in the open. You also got to watch for re releases being of different countries. You can’t assume the exact two tone swinging tiger is made in the same place, even if they are close releases. I have a double wahoo made in two different places but sold by the same company (bought at different times). So I wouldn’t hold any one site worse, or better than others. They have no say in where they’re made

I’ve noticed the sweatbands are also different. The Chinese caps are coming with a softer possibly less durable white sweatband, while Bangladesh is that dense material we’re used to. That should throw off sizing. I’ve also had more Chinese made caps with stitching issues or errors than Bangladesh. So take it for what it is.

K Kierris i want to say their drops are all early morning for usa. 6-9am range.

the 718 truth the 718 truth i hope so. I get sweat stains going through dark navy blue poly after one wear. So maybe that’s a personal issue lol. But it’s only the newer Bangladesh/China caps. The resiliency of the older era is unmatched.

You need to be familiar with their drop times to stand a good chance. First drop is usually around 4.30pm GMT, I usually hit when they restock in the evenings between 6-8pm GMT after all of Hatcrawlers followers have left. His posts garner a lot of attention making it tougher to buy. Watch their live streams on YouTube for sneak peeks of the drops for the week.

Thanks for the breakdown I was definitely gonna ask about the sizing. Usually my topperz hats fit perfectly but sometimes I'll receive a hat that's just way too tight. Appreciate you clearing that up

Man I sweat profusely lol. I for sure couldn’t do a bright white cap, just gotta be selective when and where I wear this one :lol:. They tapped into my sense of nostalgia. There’s so many good looking vintage white Mets caps
 
Hit on these bad boys today. Not like i needed it as i still got 7 hats in the mail 🥲 i need to chilllll! I was debating the round Angels one but glad it sold out 😅

Been wanting a Tampa and this patch specifically. This twins patch is dope too. This and the 1985 all star game one are clutch
