A notch up from their standard wool caps, these gems are made in melton wool fabric. Mitchell & Ness approaches the front logos differently by applying die-cut felt with top embroidery. Instead of true team colors, the whole collection is offered in a darker palette of melton wools such as dark navys, hunters, blacks, maroons, grays, and deep royal blues. All caps feature grey undervisors, satin inside taping, and Mitchell & Ness script back hit. All teams in both leagues are now dropping at official dealers, the Mitchell & Ness flagship store and web store in the coming weeks.
