Tokyo 08 / Part 2 : Cap Collector ONE

Part of my journey in Tokyo was the opportunity to visit the one & only Cap Collector One. Cap Collector ONE is a premier spot in Tokyo & a great online spot for your entire fitted cap fix. Located in the Harajuku district with a second spot in Ueno, CC One is craved out similar to fitted spots out in NYC (125th, Jamaica Ave.) but a bit more polished. As you can see from the pics below Cap Collector is nothing short of NY fitteds. The NY Yankees caps command about 50% of the wall real estate & the rest is made of other teams plus a whole window wall dedicate to independent brands such as The Hundreds, HUF, Upper Playground, & customs. Having showcased a handful of their products here on UA it was great to finally hit them up for a visit & some fitteds! Cap Collector is located on Meiji St, one block up from the Harajuku train station.
