New Obey Giant Headwear
Fresh off a Westcoast LA trip, here are some new pick up's from Obey. As always, Obey releases some tight headwear to keep the quality propaganda flowing. First up is the 2 panel, black painters cap in flex fit sizing. Made of basic cotton with a touch of poly for stretch, the cap is printed with large OBEY / Misfits inspired wordmarks & skull man graphic on top. Next up is the military cadet, adjustable buckle cap for the ladies. This cap sports a small brass Giant pin on the front & a glossy, all over rose graphic print on the crown & visor. Look for the painters cap in limited stock at Brooklyn Projects & the ladies black rose cap at Active or Urban Outfitters.
SUBLiME Collage Cabbie Cap
Setting it off is Sublime with this unisex collage cabbie / military inspired cap. Made completely out of cut & sewn, the cap is made up of cotton fabrics such as striped cottons, waffle knits, & heavy canvases. All these different textured fabrics are then put together using pewter, hunter, khaki, & brown colors to bring it all together. Final details include a piece of canvas with metal grommets on the visor, inside lining, & soft brushed cotton sweatband for total comfort. Two fitted sizes are offered both in the below colorway & a black / grey combo. You can get this cap at mostly independent women's boutique spots or through Sublime.
Triple 5 Soul Crazy Soul Fidel Military Cap
Here is a recent pic of a new women's corduroy cap from Triple 5 Soul. This good-looking cap incorporates stretch cord fabric with distressed top stitch, print, strap & button. The cap is part of T5S's spring line that includes more military styles that also sport the straps & big buttons. The cap comes with the standard Triple 5 color woven label on the back. Triple 5 has consistently put out creative military inspired caps to accessorize back to their apparel & maintain that design level with this cap. You can find this one through apparel boutiques or the T5S site.
