Mitchell & Ness NFL, NBA Melton Wool Fitteds
Below are the first images of brand new Mitchell & Ness, NFL Throwbacks and NBA Hardwood Classics fitted caps from their Fall 2008 collection. A notch up from their standard wool caps, these gems are made in melton wool fabric. Mitchell & Ness approaches the front logos differently by applying die-cut felt with top embroidery. Instead of true team colors, the whole collection is offered in a darker palette of melton wools such as dark navys, hunters, blacks, maroons, grays, and deep royal blues. All caps feature grey undervisors, satin inside taping, and Mitchell & Ness script back hit. All teams in both leagues are now dropping at official dealers, the Mitchell & Ness flagship store and web store in the coming weeks.
The Hundreds "Soft Adam" New Era 59Fifty Fitteds
The Hundreds keep the goodies coming with the release of their Soft Adam, New Era 59Fifty fitteds. The entire collection is constructed using soft, foam padding fabric. This could be killer in the hot summer days but definitely a different approach. This style comes in orange, black, cyan, pink and features The Hundreds iconic bomb logo on the front. Stock is tight on these caps and will only be available through The Hundreds LA and SF spots.

ECAPCITY continues to unleash more custom New Era 59Fifty fitteds for 10.18.2008. Let's set it off with a NHL Edmonton Oilers cap. Rocking a brown crown, this cap is accented with a purple top visor & tabs of lime green for the undervisor & sections of the front logo. Next to this is an additional colorway for the Seattle Mariners 59Fifty New Era cap with brown crown & orange visor. 
Continuing down line is some more hockey with the Montreal Canadiens New Era and Colorado Avalanche fitted hats. The Canadiens is done up in a nice combination of teal, metallic gold and purple with the Avalanche in royal blue, brown, and stone under brim.
Third batch includes Montreal Expos fitted in black, teal and carmine. Ecapcity also blesses us with a Chicago Cubs fitted hat in maroon, grey, and white color way.
Finishing off this release is the Lake Elsinore Storm New Era hat in a special Halloween edition plus the San Jose Sharks fitted cap in black, grey, elephant print and red accents. This special cap is an easy hook up to the Jordan Retro III.
