New Era 'RipStop' Military Patrol Cap @ OnSpotz.com

OnSpotz.com has recently re-stocked the New Era RipStop Military Patrol Cap in graphite.  This cap features the basic build of vintage patrol caps made with single-ply ripstop fabric and side NE branding.  The ripstop option is my personal favorite but Onspotz is loaded with various color options plus different fabrics such as plaids, houndstooth, and waterproof.  Available now at Onspotz.com.

Hella Tight 'Land Of The Kings' Snapback Cap

Hella Tight has connected with Inglewood Hip-Hop group U-N-I to put together the 'Land Of The Kings' snapback cap.  Titled after one of U-N-I's latest tracks, the cap styling takes it back to the old-school script theme made popular by Sport Specialties back in the late 80's.  The color way is inspired by Lakers purple and gold with satin under visor and matching top button.  The front Kings word mark is done up in raised embroidery.  As always, each cap ordered from HT is shipped in a Hella Tight cap box.  Available here.
