Vault New Era Custom Fitted Caps
Vault, one of Harlem’s own, has just released two custom New Era fitteds. Both caps represent the Vault shop along with Harlem's state of mind. First, is a straight up Vault wordmark inspired by the Shaft movie font style. This one is being offered in three solid wools with only the wordmark flipping out colors. Next up is Harlem's Safecrackers fitted produced in conjunction with Benny Gold for the custom graphics. This is for the Uptown heads but definitely anyone on that money hustle! Vault offers this one in Mets royal / orange, a nice garnet / white / black, and lavender / metallic / sky blue combo. Take the B, C, 2, or 3 trains to 135th and check these dudes out for the product. Phone orders welcomed.
