Produced in very limited runs, the caps are offered in combos of royal / red, white / red, and a solid gray version with orange contrast trims. Available now at the store and online.

The caps feature an all over, handstyle, print graphic around the entire crown with solid visors. MTTM offers this in white / black, pink / white, and a grey tonal version, with embroidered MTTM lipstick logo on the left side and custom visor sticker. These 'official' fitted caps are now available here and select retailers.

OFFICIAL H08 Fitted Caps, Pt:1
Below is OFFICIAL's highly anticipated headwear collection for H08, which is loaded with unique styles that represent their philosophy of repping San Fran and the influential style consumer. Setting it off are a personal favorite, the Houndstooth Disruptive Pattern fitteds. These caps feature an original houndstooth print on cotton twill, which are offered in desert beige and forest. Going down the line is the Fuschia Plaid cap, which is made in a heavy, wool plaid with a rip stop, houndstooth camo undervisor. Continuing with the houndstooth theme, OFFICIAL serves up a nice cotton plaid with one houndstooth graphic embroidered on the front. This cap features a slightly softer buckram, making it form fitting. Finishing off the collection of fitteds, is the OFFICIAL Scripto style done up in red denim. The front sports a fully raised, script graphic and an inside-out denim for the undervisor. As always, all caps feature their authentic, laser-cut, POP woven labels on the front, with satin inside linings for most styles. In addition to all this, OFFICIAL re-vamps their on-line store, featuring a new section called “The Hook Up” which has fitteds under $20.
