Not only have you raised prices, decreased in quality & switched materials to the cardboard-like polyester, the sizing on most your hats varies so much it’s ridiculously buns. When I go to buy an article of clothing, I don’t expect perfect sizing across the board. But I do expect a standard.
During Black Friday’s sales, I was lucky enough to catch sales @ both Future Exclusives & MYFITTEDS. With the savings offered, I basically copped three hats for the price of two including shipping. Cool beans and worth the roll of the dice.
Except the shit fitting leaves me with such a nice Mariners cap that’s nowhere near a 7 5/8′s. It’s wool but there’s no way I can shrink it to fit. I could wear it, but I’ll look like Papoose (“what the fuck is a Papoose?”) and oversized fitteds were never what was hot IMO. Anybody want it for $20?
My complaints aside, here are two sales that might be of interest to the rest of you…

True. That’s why i wont order one online.
I grabbed 2 from Myfitteds and them shits are a tad small. Got a 7 3/4 and they feel like a 7 5/8.
That Orioles/Ravens cap is fresh tho. hmmm
I need an all black Chicago Blackhawks fitted ASAP. Anyone know where I can find one?
If that Mariner’s joint was 7 1/8′s I’d pick it up. I need to cop one to wear with my Griffey’s. Are they retroing the Griffey 2′s any time soon?
A papoose is a Native American term for a small baby. Saw it randomly on F-Troop once, no lie. But yeah, quality control is needed re; New Eras.

Closest one i saw was the one at ECapcity with the Black with the red brim which is felt too which is a plus to me not necessarily to u:

The link is with all their blackhawk joints including the grey wool joint – hotness.
^ that grey/red Hawks joint is the troof, but I rarely order from ecap. I used to have everybody’s sizing down, knowing where to order true to size and where to go up/down. Slow up on coppin for a while and totally forget. Lesson learned as a result.
on another note:
Even though I love C&C (Crooks & Castles, not the music factory lol), their sizes run bigger than normal and they use New Era. I’ll cop my regular 7 1/2 and then they feel like 5/8′s. Then I tried on a 7 5/8 when they didn’t have halves and it fit better than my own size!
Maybe i’m just adding on Gotty’s rant, but this isn’t the first time…
Ordered from MyFitteds over Black Friday too. Still waiting for the order to come thru… If the sizing is flucked up I will be unhappy…
Papoose is a rapper that fell off and refuses to acknowledge that fact
I need an all black w/red claw raptors.
They do everything in the retro purple/dribbling dino now and it’s killing me.
PapLoose PapLOose!!!
It shouldn’t be this difficult to but a fitted that actually fits. I am pass the age where I can where a hat 3 sizes too big.

expensive as all hell, but lots of variety on what you’re looking for.

==============================
That was never in style in my book. This new bent upward ala Wesley Snipes in WMCJ is wack too.
Jason:
I agree it looks silly; and I will like to add keeping the sticker on the brim to the list of wack hat styles. I saw some kids the the brim bent up; they looked like Dewayne Wayne from A Different World.

How can you fall off if you were never really on? Getting signed doesn’t count…

^U right! I got two size 7 3/8 Nationals fitteds that fit way different. For that reason I could never trust an online cap seller. I deal strickly with Lids at the mall.
I’ve got that Mariners fitted. One of my personal favorites behind my Florida Marlins. I usually stick to original team fitteds, but that purple O’s hat is downright disgusting.
you guys are so old, the look for the contemporary “playa” is a cap with a swoosh
DAMN, good lookin’ out I never check jackthreads anymore but those script Alife fitteds are fire.
Ive been tryin to get this hat
http://www.ecapcity.com/los-angeles-dodgers-new-era-hats-purple-blck-yellow.html
for literally almost a year i think…its always “outta stock” on that site and i’ve yet to find it anywhere else…anybody kno about any alternative stores that have it?
Game Over — That cap is probably long gone unless another custom hat spot picks it up.
niggas sleeping on mitchell & ness fitteds…the american needle low brow joints are on point to
Oh and hey, real talk, fuck New Era and their inability to get their sizing down right…Ive got like three 7 1/2s that fit like 7 3/4s…I cant be rockin that…especially not in the city when all its gonna take it a lil bit of wind to knock that off my head and down the hill gone forever…
Damn I thought it was just me. I have some 7 1/4 the fit like 7 1/8 and vice versa
I was p’od when I order the GI joe hats the yellow cobra commander was supposed to be a 8 more like 7 5/8 the Snake eyes was supposed to be an 8 as well it was like 7 1/2 and I HAVE to wear 8s at least.
New Era C’mon SON!
Dear New Era,
Can you please make the all navy blue, Blue Jays hat again…. I cant find it anywhere!! k thx
the size issue gives me the shits
I wish New Era did NFL fitteds. I’d kill for a Oakland Raiders fitted with the green underbill. Size 8 just in case the read this.
Gotty: damn…lol, so I literally gotta be really lucky and just run into it at some boutique or some site on some random ass day then huh?
I hear that.
I bought an on-field Yankees fitted and this other Yankees one about 2 years ago, they are supposed to be the same size. But the other one [not the on-field] is way too big. I’ma probably try to sell it. I’ve worn it like 4-5 times but it’s mostly just collected dust.
