FITTED Hawaii "Shaka" Straw 59Fifty Cap

FITTED Hawaii is back with another custom gem releasing this Saturday (14th).  This new cap features the famous Hawaiian hand gesture known as The Shaka.  There are many versions of where this hand symbol originates from but overall it is universally known as the ultimate symbol of Aloha in Hawaiian culture.  FITTED brings this concept forward on a straw fitted embroidered with the Shaka graphic in raised embroidery.  Details include printed satin under visor plus inside lining and embroidered crest on the back.  The nice color pop on button and sweatband adds some extra flare.  As usual, if you don't cop this early, you just aren’t getting one!  Phone orders welcomed.

And Still La Brea x For All To Envy Deadstock New Era Golden State Warriors Fitted Cap

For EBay hunters looking for classic, deadstock, licensed apparel and caps, For All To Envy is no stranger to the game.  Now if you happen to be in LA and looking for the same, then And Still is a must stop.  Located on La Brea Avenue, this shop is stacked with some of the hardest caps from the mid 80's into the mid 90's.  Together they form one of the best spots to serve up those team caps 'you use to have'.  As part of their Fitted Fridays, F.A.T.E./&Still showcases this vintage New Era 5950 Pro Model of the Golden State Warriors.  Personally one of my favorite Hardwood Classic logos and caps, the royal and gold were the perfect match, before the team started going into navy's and deeper golds.  The GS Warriors also represents Brooklyn's own and St.John's Redmen, Chris Mullin!  Read the Inside Label post we ran on our AJD Mullin snapback cap here.  This is an all wool cap with green under visor, white sweatband, and nothing on the back.  This gem was posted on Friday and they only had one piece in 7 1/4, so consider yourself privileged if you copped this!

Hella Tight x Del "Bombay" Fitted Cap

Hella Tight does another solid collaboration with classic emcee Del The Funky Homosapien of the Hieroglyphics crew.  The Bombay fitted uses black melton wool for the crown and leather fabric for button and visor.  The front features the well-known Hieroglyphics Bombay, 3-eye logo, appliquéd in 3M reflective. The overall look of this cap comes off very crisp and clean especially because it has no eyelets. In conjunction with the release of the hat Del worked up a new song released today called "Tha Bombay" which is available for free download here.  Cop the 'Bombay' fitted exclusively through Hella Tight online.
