Saturdays beer pack drop

That Sculpin IPA SD is a must!!! That’s my favorite beer. Whole pack is though.

Inspiration for the pack.

 

[djlunchbox]

Like i want Astros to matchy match my Heineken dunks but i can live without it.

Biggest wants are MGD Brewers and King Cobra DBacks. Gonna have wife try for Astros. Cubs i want but i have a similar one from eblens except it’s yellow UV. Colt 45s another want. Assist prices are wild. I’ll wait until a few weeks after the drop and try to find a 45s for the lower.

I don't drink enough beer to know what that Toronto one is even supposed to be.

Looks like a Canadian beer brand.

These are my top choices. Now as far as what I’ll be able to end up with…

Yeah same except sans Yote one and add both astros. Ideally I’d be happy with brewers and dbacks. Anything else is gravy.

Saturdays beer pack drop

 

[egaroc1]

Best hat is that brewers tho.

 

[djlunchbox]

Patchwork & co pin came in. Dope pin but i don’t see paying the wild resell prices on these

Hatclub is doing that beer pack? I think 4u did a better job recently

Even those earlier beer packs a year or so back seem more consistent. Then again, I’m probably overthinking the themes and team locations. Some match up perfectly. Some are a head scratcher.
For hyped hats, they could’ve went with all hype local breweries. A treehouse king Julius Boston Red Sox cap for example. Nyc has lots of hyped up breweries (other half).

Overall, the mix between large breweries and locals seems decent enough. There’s a lot of brands out there. It makes you wonder why they seem to recycle on a few like Heineken and shiner bock, when they could do many other brands they’ve never touched before (Budweiser or bud light for example). I guess they’ll be ready for round 2 here soon enough. There’s lots of historical brands as well as European imports they could touch (not only Heineken). There’s also ownership issues but that’s for another day (ballast point fot
Bought out a few years ago, went national, and have since closed down many CA locations. Anheuser Busch has been buying up local breweries for years under the guise that they’re still ‘local’). I can see HC not touching any of that, just vague location and matching logo themes.

Topperz delivery. Sidepatch is slightly crooked but it's no biggie, the cap is spooky.

That pack is too dope to but it’s not as diverse as the new drop. I hate when they drop only a handful hats to choose from. These drops are near impossible to cop for retail.

I had this in my cart, about to hit that Apple Pay button and saw it’s made in Bangladesh. I would’ve been pissed wasting money on a low profile fitted. They need to shut that factory down or retrain everyone there.

 

[djlunchbox]

The hatclub beer pack is a restock from last year + new for this year

These were the OG ones
Heineken Astros
MGD Brewers
another script 2 tone white brewers (not sure which beer not part of the restock)
Miller Lite Brewers
Goose Cubs
Busch Cards
Tecate SD
Shiner Rangers

All the rest are new for this year.

Who dropped this? ST?

And that's funny. Most people want that over China although people are saying China quality has gotten better.

djlunchbox good info on the beer pack. I knew many looked or seemed familiar. I probably have one shot at just one of them. Gotta make it count. Which one will be least popular lol?

There is a slight difference in poly and wool, so add that to the mixup on what people prefer. I feel Bangladesh poly is the most prevalent, and worst of the four options

Best to last
China wool
China poly
Bangladesh wool
Bangladesh poly

And yet that I do feel China has improved over the years. Their on fields from 10 years back were absolute trash. One of the caps I got by mistake from Hc a few weeks back was China made and actually seemed close to usa. So there’s been progress. Some of those older era caps are just so bad. Good news is, I don’t feel many of these China or Bangladesh caps made in the last 3 years reach that level of mediocrity

Heads up. 4ucap is having their 24th anniversary sale through to 5/22/22. Code 24th gives you 25% off. Add in flat rate shipping and no sales tax outside of NY, and you can be back to 2010 with $34 fitteds. I stocked up on a few grey unders. They’re all moving fast.

Always droppin that knowledge

Honestly most of the new beers will sit except for colt 45s and King Cobra DBacks

Mariners is a possible sleeper but with the rising popularity of Mariners hats i can see that selling out too.

IMO the true sleeper is between the Santan Dbacks and the Summit Twins. Most people will avoid the bright colors per se. The Pink As Will sit as well i believe only cuz of the small patch. Had they gone with the Battle of the Bay patch it’d move more even tho the pink is a turn off

^^^^
Contrasting Eyelets kill it for me.


Speaking of contrasting eyelets….
White on cream. Smh. Not a deal breaker for me. As long as I got it for retail. Still dope.

Seems like the consensus in country preference switched recently.

I don't think I have too many Bangladesh made hats in my stash, but I remembered a LOT of people sticking them at the bottom of the list. It feels like people prefer it over China these days?

yeah they do. I forget that the main reason people site but Ben makes it a point to state hats are made in Bangladesh cuz most HatClub stans don't want China.

Perfect example is recent Aux pack drop. all hats were made in China and people used that excuse to tax higher on 1.0 aux pack. The Nats was one that shot up because the new one used a brighter and richer teal/tiffany thread coloring on the patch and logo as opposed to the 1.0 that used a washed out looking aqua thread. Mind you the 2.0 coloring was more accurate to the album cover inspo i beleive (Wale's More About Nothing)
