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.
