New Era 59fifty fitted cap is the best baseball cap of all time in history.

[@JonathanFox-o8p]

You’re obviously not old enough to remember Tim McAuliffe/ KM Pro. Look them up, New Era ain’t 💩 compared to what they were.

[@donhatter159]

What about it?

[@skittelzmusic]

Huge shout out to all the fitted collectors 🧢🎉

[@ManapuaMan187]

Bring back the quality of new era prices keep going up while quality keep tanking

[@jaycoleman11]

For real. Paying $50 for a cap that now looks like it's made in china. Been buying them for two decades now, so it's easy to compare to older ones i have, and you can just tell there's no quality assurance anymore.

[@oskar6380]

Overseas made, low quality, size inconsistencies, I have been wearing new era hats for the last 25 years, you can tell the difference between old US made and now overseas made hats

[@MoViesDProductions]

My thoughts. They go on about the "love and passion" but that's not the vibe I've been getting the past years with them moving production overseas and overall just making an inconsistent product.

[@PancakeLizard710]

I think they are made in Bangladesh

Bring back buffalo factory and MIU cap

[@johnniemiec3286]

New Era used to make good stuff. Not for a while now. Maybe they need to bring production back home to the U.S.?

[@donellweaver5722]

New Era we love you and also happy that you will do NHL hats once again in fitted and snapback as I remember

[@ThatChrisDude]

Oh yay, they are doing NHL hats again? I'm tired of Fanantics taking over the NHL. Great news!

[@donellweaver5722]

@ThatChrisDude wait a minute u didn't know that the New Era made a deal with the NHL to make hats for the teams again

[@ThatChrisDude]

[@fredleinweber2819]

@@donellweaver5722 Fanatics is still the official apparel provider. Infact all around now as Adidas gave way to Fanatics to do the jerseys too. being a hat company New Era has always made hats for all the leagues regardless of sponsorship.

[@andrewhaynes6638]

It's a shame the caps are now such different patterns and poor quality with them mostly being outsourced overseas.

[@johndodger]

Back in the 90s in UK. New Era caps were rare, and people wasnt really aware. I got a grey NYY 5950 from JJB then I managed to get a Red Yankees cap from Footlocker. They were made so much better back then. All low profile. Grey bill. Just great to wear. Now they look like a box on ya head. Hard to break in. I miss the 90s.

[@angelescobar8804]

Shout out New Era! You guys legit are the best. I don’t leave my house without that Dodger blue LA hat. Thank you for what you’ve done for people and for the culture.

[@insomniac186]

I love how you guys used footage and pictures of the factory in New York that you closed in 2019, causing 200 people to lose their jobs. It gives the false impression that it still exists. You also mislead the public by selling MLB on-fields made overseas even though the ones the players receive are actually made in the Miami-Dade area. The ones in stores should be sold as replicas, because that's what they are.

[@user-mk8oq8ml8k]

Absolutely agree, New Era better make that clear

[@user-fh7zw6br4h]

I wonder why they moved out of New York …

[@insomniac186]

@@user-fh7zw6br4h their official reason was that they no longer wanted their own employees doing the actual manufacturing and wanted to use contractors instead so they could focus more on being a "brand." However, their state tax benefits for keeping the plant open were going to expire. Coincidence?

[@lifewithchuckie562]

@@insomniac186 that’s a lame excuse the real reason was it was cheaper to outsource there factory over seas a lot of the workers who make these hats get paid very little in these factories and they know that they know that in USA it would never slide and be acceptable there people making only a few dollars in their factories making the hats. They outsourced it to not just china now but places like Bangladesh Laos Vietnam Haiti and a few more. They figure they can save as such money using cheap labor and sell their product for more than their worth.

[@macheteddie]

5950 is just a standard shape now. I would reference it for shape build when sending spec guides to China all the time. What’s more crazy is these $2 hats are sold for $50

[@RRFineArt]

Let's talk about the decline of the 59Fifty, that is, since it's no longer produced in the USA. When it was made in the USA, it had a better shape, better stitching, better overall quality. An American pride, produced elsewhere, with all the problems involved

[@ciscoelnino9237]

the line "Well, it's going to be all yours now. Don't F' it up" hit me hard. You can probably relate if you lost a parent.

[@evancortez2]

The only thing I don't like about the 59Fifty is the sizing is inconsistent, some 7 1/4 hats are tight fitting, some 7 1/4 hats are loose fitting, and some are just right, some 7 1/8 hats fit like 7 1/4, some 7 5/8 hats fit like 7 1/4, and don't say it's how long my hair is, it's not

[@DSaxmon]

They are all hand stitched... There's room for error.

[@VNTPLA]

As they're made in different factories in different countries except where they should be made, usa

[@octoberbasa7053]

I became a fan of the 59fifty with that MLB logo because of Fred Durst.

[@mid-s_to_earlysViBEZ]

Fr…He was the man.

[@talksmoke1190]

Been buying new era caps since 1982. Have almost every on field model since that point

[@jorgericosax]

The Cleveland Indians wahoo fitted is the all time best designed hands down .. retired and now a collectible if you know you know .

[@kimcokevin]

Need to bring some American production back, New Era Premium edition. I personally would pay a premium for one.

[@ThaTGanGTV]

Thank you new era for your impact on sports and hip hop culture.when I was in high school during the ‘00’s I would always wear a 5950 to school I couldn’t wear it but I’d hold it with my folder jus to show the coordination with the fit.i became so known for having fitteds all the time that New Era became my stage name as an MC and I wear it with pride!!!the day I collab with you guys is the day I know I’ve made it!!!#59504Life#NewEraForever#DhatGang

One of the 1st fitted New Era hats I got, didn't even have the flag on the side. It was a University of Tennessee Orange fitted 7 3/8. Not like Jimmy Houston trucker, Orange w/white T

new era good cap........great........

[@IAmTimBaker]

All the hats are made in Vietnam, Bangladesh and other countries outside the USA and it's always a crapshoot if your size is going to fit. Maybe focus on consistent quality regardless of where they are made. It would also be nice if you made these in the USA.

[@morningsidedriverock]

I prefer 39thrity. It’s a better fit for me. LET’S GO YANKEES!! Also, C.C. would get a brand new hat every inning. That’s the story at least.

[@dns21079]

The one thing this video need is Fred Durst lol. I mean no disrespect, sure Spike Lee is the 1st person who wear the red Yankee cap but I think Fred help further popularize it to many people outside US like myself, in the late 90's and early 00's red backward yankee cap is associated with Fred, just type limp bizkit on youtube searchbar the top 5 music vid are him wearing the red cap 🤣🤣

[@dgoody84]

Sizing is super super bad. Your rolling the dice buying online. And a made in the US offering would be absolutely fantastic 🤷‍♂️

Yeah well maybe make two 🧢 in the same size fit the same and too many brims wanna crack when you just give em a Lil bend... 😔 🤦🏻‍♂️ 😡

Also, Spike is a front runner. Grew up a Mets fan in BK... 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@themancaveclub]

Love New Era hats. Sad that they’re not made in the USA anymore.

[@insomniac186]

​@themancaveclub the ones the MLB players receive for in-game wear still are, it's required by MLB. It's possible to get them, you just have to go through each team's game used sales departments.

@@insomniac186Ok, thanks!

[@yaeckerphotography]

Every NE hat that I have bought is too small. I take a 7.5 and everyone I have bought at MLBShop is to small even though the label says 7.5. Poor quality control

[@TheLumaInChroma]

With sweatshops in Bangladesh, China, Vietnam, Haiti, there’s no consistency to sizing, symmetry or quality. Come on New Era, you can do better.
