Richie was right about New Era 5950 hats being somewhat inconsistent in sizing. I think this is just due to the manufacturing process, as it's always been that way. But what he's wrong about, and which directly contradicts his first point, is that he says the FoG hats are 'always big' - they're not any different than a normal 5950, because they're literally just a normal 5950.

[@jesserosales8712]

i only wear 5950 and can confirm each are different, im a 7 5/8 but i got some really snug and some really loose, some also have more of the actual hat n comes down to my ears and some only comes down half way to my ears

[@Kaetoh]

@@jesserosales8712 ive even had some go further down on one side than the other lol. New era needa fix these lil flaws in their production its mad annoying and probably stems from rushing their products out/not placing enough importance on accurate details and quality of each hat. Its sad. Super annoying. Almost made me not want to continue collecting bc every other hat i get has a crookedly sewn on brim, fucked up panels, improper sizing, , dents around the logo, or comes with a cracked brim. Its like playing the lottery, and really shouldnt be. They should be able to ensure that the hat is perfect and the same size/quality everytime. Idk how that shit is so hard they def a multimillion if not more dollar company… get ur shit together newera. I mean we all gonna continue to buy em anyway tho but if it gets bad enough as ive been seeing it definitely get worse and have hats arrive with more flaws more frequently.. people are gonna be hesitant to buy fitteds online not wanting to partake in the gamble of it being made properly and fitting properly. Whats the point of spending your hard earned money on a fitted that says its a certain amount of inches and actually isnt, and or looks stupid when u wear it bc they sewed the brim on off centre. Like cmon now. These should be issues that are needing to be fixed ASAP. But instead they just rushing more and more to keep up with demand and letting the flaws get more and more plentiful. Smh new era.

As a person who wears a size 6 7/8 I can tell you irregardless of the size the crown stays the same height. That makes a smaller size like mine look twice as high as a size 7.5- 8 which is why I will occasionally tuck the top of my gears into my hat so it doesn’t stick so high off my head. If they would adjust the height to the size this wouldn’t be an issue for so many of us.

[@OGsince82]

Most fitteds are inconsistent in size since they’re mass produced, I wear a 7 3/8 new era 59/50 fitted. They’re never the same fit so it’s best to try it on if u can before you buy. I bought 2 hats from Compound in 7 3/8. One is definitely tighter than the other even if it’s the same size listed. The hats today are either 80% polyester/20%wool. Some can be 90/10. These 2 will shrink a little bit. But if it’s 100% poly, then forget it. That will definitely not shrink. Just passing on some knowledge I learned from experience.

[@heyuonthewall26]

As someone with a very extensive 59fifty collection, I can appreciate some of these rules but at the end of the day, wear your hat how you want. I’ve seen guys purposely make a boxy brim because that’s what they want. Do I like that? Not at all, but who am I to tell them they’re wrong? I collect fitteds but I wear every fitted I’ve ever bought. I keep the bill pretty straight with maybe a slight arch, and I turn the hat slightly to my left. Why? Who knows. I went to an Astros game this past week with my McCann Braves jersey on, and an Oakland A’s hat on. I got called out and stares, but I was comfy.

[@javierguillen8549]

I used to “break” the brim of my hats, but now I use Johnny’s technique with a water bottle in the middle of the brim (make sure the brim hugs the bottle while you’re bending it) and it works great 👌🏼

[@josh-ed7je]

That’s way too much work use the crease line right between your fingers and palms to grip the brim, then fold your fingers bending the brim till both your knuckles are touching each other. Continue bending till your desired curve

[@noellaine1202]

im a 7 3/8 with the measurement so i should get 7 1/2 so it shrinks perfectly?

[@xmas7696]

It all depends on the material of the hat. If it’s polyester it’s not gonna shrink a lot. I recommend getting 7 3/8 and if it’s a little tight bend the brim or get a hat stretcher :))

I remember my 1st fitted cap. I called it a "Pro Cap" growing up in the 90s cuz that's what the pros wore. SF Giants 6 5/8ths and was still big lol dad had to search far and wide for that size. Now u can get any size anywhere.

[@shadowsurfer01]

Yeah we called them Pro-Backs. I remember my first one, and hated out growing it. I only wear Probacks now

[@cartmantke]

I found the best way to curve a brim is to use a metal tumbler (stanley, igloo, artc cup) a Velcro strap (cable management strap) and some water. Curve the bill around the cup and strap it tight. Wet your hand and tap the top of the bill until it is wet, but not dripping. If the bill has darkened compared to the rest of the hat it's enough. Let it dry over night. Once dry do your stain resistance etc. If you want less of a curve you can in end it a little, but the curve will relax as you wear it. If you need to curve utagain, repeat the process. Works every time and you don't have to stress over breaking the bill
