Official continues to give us previews of their upcoming Fall / Winter 2009 collection. The first two caps utilize fabric as the main feature. The Neu Gray is inspired by the Homestead Grays, which combines heritage with contemporary progression. This cap uses brushed herringbone wool with a 3M embossed reflective patch and orange contrast stitching. Next to that, Official comes off with their Backwoods plaid in cream, red, and blue with a die-cut woven POP label. The new season also brings new colorways of the Victor Cholo LA in an aqua wool blend with green 3D embroidery and the Neu SF fitted in gold wool with wheat color scheme.
