Airtime: "The New Deal" Snapback Caps
The Airtime expansion continues with their latest snapback styles, which are part of "The New Deal" Summer 2010 collection. Airtime keeps the graphic aesthetics real clean and classic against proven fabrics such as corduroy and wool tweed. The first corduroy caps features a laser, die-cut felt application for their ARTM logo. The cap is then highlighted with contrast top button and a slightly lighter panel stitch lines. Next, AT drops wool tweed options in either dark charcoal or slate grey. This style features their AT 1988 seal logo in direct raised embroidery. AT blesses the slate gray colorway with a plaid under visor and white sweatband. All snapbacks are finished off with ARTM woven loop labels insert next to the back closure. Both styles are now available through Airtime online shop.
