I'd buy the cherry one, but then I'd laugh at myself everytime that I looked in the mirror because I spent $55 on a hat.

Wait, screw hats, I want that cherry on a shirt! I wonder if I could do that myself...

@HarrisonHopkins:

The bills don't stay flat if you wrap em around a tumbler with a pair of rubberbands, or just get a cap curver.

I collect quite a few of New Era's 59fifty caps and I curve the bills of all of mine.

They aren't "meant" to stay flat if you don't want them to be. Most baseball players curve theirs, and they feel much more comfortable once you do that, too.

Yeah, these caps cost upwards of 25 dollars, with some going for as much as 75+, but they're damn well worth it if you like the fashion (as I do).

I tried ordering them from Fuctard but it seems that they don't ship outside of Japan. Ouch! I need another venue to get these. Anyone?

I have a thing for hats so im getting this. I have probably 4-5 NE hats and paying 50 dollars for one isnt much.

Different strokes for different folks. Some people pay 100+ doll hairs for some kicks, so its really not much different.

@Fyren: Mmm. Hats are sweet. And I'd have to agree with the 50 bucks ain't no thang. But a chiken wang. ha ha.

No seriously, that hat is awesome. Ok - so let's say you pay $55 for a hat. How long does it last? 1-4 years depending on how well you take care of it and/or if you've passed puberty.

At one year that's 15 cents a day to wear your sweet new cap. That's cheap in my books, at least relative to length of enjoyment.

Word.

That is such a winner. Definitely a winner in my book.

Finally, Another worthy cap in my collection.

50 bucks is fine, I threw a hundred for the limited nerdswithswag.com's NE Five-four cap.

Definitely worth every penny.

@y2julio:
Now that you mention it, I remember a short time in the 90s where I wore caps that looked like I had just bought them and a jacket with the pricetag still on. That was awful and I didn't do that for very long.

Why can't we just leave the tags in caps like the red blooded Americans who are trying to be hip that we are?!

@kingofallcosmos: Flat billed caps are big in the hip-hop/urban scene.
@HarrisonHopkins: All my New Era caps come flat billed but I curve them slightly into the curve I like.

kingofallcosmos — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 17:07:23 MST

Wow, that is way too much, but I like them. I also bend the bills if they are straight, but good caps are curved naturally. I have been curving my hats for at least 20 years (I remember having a straight bill was popular in my area for a while in the 80s), but the best caps I own were all pre-curved. Good looking designs though.

@y2julio: Yeah, because their hats are made to be curved. These however, are meant to be flat.

MCWHAMMER — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 17:00:57 MST

Agreed. No more flat billed hats, it makes no sense. Also, who in their right mind would buy from a website called that? You'd trust your credit card with them?!

Terrorsaur. — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 17:00:45 MST

Heh. considering the other fitted caps go for 35-40, its not THAT much.

But considering you can buy a regular hat for like 7 bucks, yeah its kinda like WTF.

I have 3 fitted hats though lol, and this one would look like a nice addition.

I think I have a crazy thing for hats, I bought an ushanka, and I want to buy a real raccoon hat.

@HarrisonHopkins: baseball players curve the bills. You can do the same. I do it as well.

y2julio

Namco Meets New Era For Pac-Man Caps

HarrisonHopkins — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 16:57:49 MST

I'd buy one:

1. If they weren't $55
2. If the bills weren't made to stay flat.

Flat bills look fscking stupid.
