Rizz GAWD Lav No Cap FrFr Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Since Summer has officially fallen upon us and headwear is something many of us rock to compliment what we wear or just ad a bit of shade, I figured I'd get an official headwear thread started. I'd like to officially start this off by asking: Do we have anyone in the audience who has any experience with the New Era 59FIFTY low crown hats? I usually just fit 59FIFTY's to my head as best I can, but recently found out you can get the on the field authentic caps in a low crown option, which is exactly what I need. I don't have a deep head, so the overly big front side is something I don't need. Unfortunately, it seems hard to get in store so I'm a bit weary of buying before I try, anyone care to offer any insight? If you do own one, did you have to size up so as to adjust to lesser necessity of curving the cap?
Patrick Bateman Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 I fucking hate low crown hats. It sucks that all good golf hats are low crown too
Rizz GAWD Lav No Cap FrFr Posted June 21, 2012 Author Posted June 21, 2012 The fowler puma hats, new Titleist flat brims and the Nike 20XI hats are all the more traditional. Those are my favorite hats too, which kind of sucks. I size down on the 20XI's to make it work but if they made those with low profile mesh setups I'd buy all the colors. Love those hats.
Phil Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 I just wear the same dirty ass Rangers' hat I got years ago. It's like a 2006 draft one.
Parsley Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 I love wearing hats. In terms of the style (since I'm now an old fart) I stay away from flat-brim hats. Give me an old school "The Game" hat and I'm happy. http://images.ecampus.com/images/l/2/001/003209022001.jpg Yes, I've had a Shockers hat since college. Otherwise, I wear a few NY Giants Super Bowl hats and a few from Pacific Sunwear (Billabong, Hurley) http://images2.pacsun.com/is/servlet/izoom/PacSunProducts/4059457_01?$cj_product$
Phil Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 I don't care what hat any of you wear, just so long as you curl the fuckin' rim. Every time I see suburban white kids wearing those 59fifty hats with straight rims and the stupid sticker still stuck on it I just want to run up, crease it, and run off laughing.

Uh oh......you likely ruffled some feathers here. I hear ya though.....maybe it's a biproduct of age. I just don't see anything alluring about straight rims on a white dude.
Rizz GAWD Lav No Cap FrFr Posted June 21, 2012 Author Posted June 21, 2012 I always put a slight curve on my brim, but nothing more than that. I look bad with extreme curves and bad flat.
Phil Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 I always put a slight curve on my brim, but nothing more than that. I look bad with extreme curves and bad flat. EVERYONE looks stupid with a flat brim.
Rizz GAWD Lav No Cap FrFr Posted June 21, 2012 Author Posted June 21, 2012 EVERYONE looks stupid with a flat brim. Disagree.

But Phil, if I take the stickers off, how will people know I'm swag?
Jules Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Yeah, love 59fifty hats, but mine are without stickers. First thing I do is peel them off, preferably in the store.
Rizz GAWD Lav No Cap FrFr Posted June 22, 2012 Author Posted June 22, 2012 Yeah fuck the stickers. That shit is straight up annoying, why do I need to know your headsize, especially if you tuck your ears in to begin with? Not like the value of the hat is going to hold as the way they are designed the hats mold to your headshape over time.
Jules Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Yeah, and I own probably a dozen hats in various styles and of various baseball clubs. Braves, Brewers, ChiSox, so all the teams I visited. And some Zoo York stuff.
NYRangers92 Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 I have a Pitt hat that I got for free and only wear it when it rains or on airplanes

Blue Heaven Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Looking forward to getting my KC Royals All-Star game 59Fifty hat Im a fan of the cooperstown collection hats.
Phil Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Where can I get a du-rag with a Stanley Cup on the top of it to wear this summer?
Rizz GAWD Lav No Cap FrFr Posted June 22, 2012 Author Posted June 22, 2012 it's reserved for only the likes of Tracy Morgan. Anyone else would be crushed under the massive weight of the cup and it's implications.
Morphinity 2.0 Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Phil, I would make you one just to see you wear a do rag.
Revolution Rock Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Every time I see suburban white kids wearing those 59fifty hats with straight rims and the stupid sticker still stuck on it I just want to run up, crease it, and run off laughing. Are you going to have time to rip off the price tag off their Jordans too? Where can I get a du-rag with a Stanley Cup on the top of it to wear this summer? Probably LA. Or some side street in China-town.
