Freshjive "Los Angeles Times" Fitted

Hot off the press: New Freshjive LA Times news clipping fitted. The pattern is composed of newspaper clippings mixed in with the Freshjive shield logo. The news headline concept is nothing new but Freshjive manages to keep it different by printing on a light polyester cotton fabric. A mesh lining to give the cap form backs the breathable fabric. Freshjive does their thing by not using the New Era branded model & instead going with their own source. Black print on white seems to be the only color available but hopefully other options turn up. Available thru Freshjive & other select boutique spots.
