Benny Gold gives us a first look at the Doughboy fitted cap produced by New Era. Inspired by the cap Ice Cube wore in Boyz N The Hood, these caps feature a Benny Old English B based on Detroit’s D. Using NE’s 59Fifty model, these caps are made with wool fabric & feature BG’s famous paper plane argyle as an undervisor print. Both caps are part of Gold’s upcoming Fall/Winter 08 release, are lined with satin & feature side-embroidered paper plane icon. Look for these joints real soon through Benny Gold’s site & official dealers.
