WIP's Preview of The Mamba & University Fitted Caps

WIP Caps hits us off with a preview of new fitted cap projects gearing up for release later this year. Starting things off are the Mamba Fitted Caps created to honor Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers 15^th NBA Title run. The cap is made with wool and colored up in Lakers Gold / Purple. One of the WIP founders is a huge Lakers fan and was the biggest supporter to build this cap. The front reads KOBE in Japanese executed in tight, raised embroidery. The side carries the official WIP logo, snake symbol on the back, and printed graphic on under visor of a snake. Next up are the return of WIP’s inaugural university caps: The Bird on the Wire' and 'Hunter on the Storm’ in new color ways. The Bird on the Wire Sesquicentennial edition celebrates the 150th year of Ateneo de Manila's existence and comes in a clean white color way. The Hunter fitted comes out in black and lime. The NY Times recently featured an article (read here) about the passionate rivalries between these two teams. These caps are truly a result of WIP’s mission to make solid product that expresses individualized lifestyles and experiences. Stay posted for more info on these gems plus other fitteds coming soon.
