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:

Have you seen the caps done by Benny Gold? His work is really classy, and attention to detail superb.

This 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.
I’m speechless. This can be a spreub blog and very attractive too. Nice work! That’s now not actually a lot coming from an newbie publisher like me, however it’s all I may just say after diving into your posts. Nice grammar and vocabulary. Not like other blogs. You actually recognise what you?re talking about too. Such a lot that you made me want to discover more. Your blog has develop into a stepping stone for me, my friend.
