New Vintage Hat Culture
Posted by Jakub
Since I was a teenager i’ve wanted to do custom hats, mostly just a cap, i’ve always been fascinated by the choosing color combinations to the quality of the sewing of the patches, embroidery, and all over printing. After digging around I have to say there is an amazing culture set in place of people making high end hats beyond New Era. I hope to do a custom ISO50 one someday soon because i’m itching to do one like the beautiful Oxford one by Quiet Life, here’s a few companies that do it properly:

July 3, 2012 at 5:27 pmThis post is great. Big up on the Benny Gold mention by @tokyospark . Personally, I love the five panel hats that companies like Obey, Benny Gold, and Supreme are doing with all different kinds of patterned fabrics. Such a different take compared to your cookie cutter New Era baseball caps.
