It’s a different era. I’m in a fb 5950 group and people complain about the older poly era of creasing.
These caps were soft as hell. Fuzzy as hell. Take your pick. But this is as close to perfection as well get
todays era likes the Chinese and Bangladesh boxy crown and super smooth crown.
People forget the imperfections are what make it great.
they would hate the ebbets field caps and any heritage series new era cap.
Its come full circle but it’s the same era of people who don’t want creases in their shoes. It’s 100% full grain leather but you want it stiff? Same with soft poly or wool. Let them have their overseas crap.
I'm in between when it comes to New vs Old era of hats. I owned a lot of on fields from 2005 til now and I loved them but I didn't wear hats much back then so they stayed fresh.
So when I started getting into hats again 4-5 years ago, I started hunting down World Series caps and ASG, etc so when hatclub and similar sites started doing the custom joints, I started collecting those bc it was unique and I didn't end up with 5 of the same exact hat.
