New Snapbacks from RAW for Spring 10

The crew over at RAW is back with two new snapback styles for Spring 2010.  These caps have been on shelves for a few weeks now but there is always room for more shine! Like the first round, RAW continues to bang out the snapback silhouette, one in 6-panel and a second option in the 5-Panel, short seam construction.  The RAW Logo snapback returns in white flat embroidery on navy wool serge. Next up, RAW introduces their Big R cap made in 100% stabil twill with die-cut applique on the front panels. The goal here was to combine the modern construction of a snapback with classic, standard felt appliques made famous by early 1900's baseball team caps. All styles have green under visors and high-density woven damask labels in the strap seam. Available now through AssembleandConquer.com plus RAW Supporters.
