Peanuts x New Era Fitted Caps
Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts, one of America's most popular and influential comic strips, has arrived onto fitted caps. New Era has released the Peanuts gang on their 59Fifty model. Out the gate, the approach is done up in subtle-black wool with contrast buttons, embroidery, and under visors. Snoopy and Charlie Brown are excuted in a single, raised, embroidered line technique, with no fill embroidery. The characters come off like they've been drawn directly on to the cap. Both caps plus another style are now available through Japan's OnSpotz.com, while supplies last.
