New Era 5950 Summer School Fitted

Here is a new fitted by New Era for all you summer school heads! This 5950 draws its style elements from a composition notebook. The front & back panels rock the famous, marble, black pattern with the traditional blue & red margin lines on the side panels. Made of wool fabric, the sweatband also comes printed with margin lines. This looks like the perfect hook to Nike's "Back To School" collection due this August, which includes the composition book, Elmer's Glue, & Crayola's. Don't be surprised to see hooks for the glue & crayon kicks this summer or fall. For now this joint is available at the NE Flagship store & urban fitted cap spots.

HUF at Fitted Hawaii

Fitted Hawaii recently posted pics of new wool fitted caps from HUF. These very basic caps come with a NYC subway token inspired HUF logo. Before bent Metrocards there were tokens that donned a die-cut Y between the N & C. The NY Knicks later adopted this ligature look as a secondary logo mark that they still rock today. Now HUF draws from this idea repping HUF SF & NY. The caps are now available at sunny Fitted Hawaii shop in the below colorway along with black & white, & navy & royal combos.
