I have the 59Fifty and 39Thirty fitted caps. My 59Fifty caps, I leave the brims flat, but my 39Thirty caps I curve them. 😀🧢😀🧢😀🧢😀🧢😀🧢😀🧢😀🧢

Is there anybody in there? I just want to know if when is the first time of release of the new era that made in usa i think usa is first before china and bangladesh

New Era, please produce all MLB and minor league on field caps in the USA! I think the Chinese caps look, construction, materials are clearly inferior to the USA caps. Remember were Americans, New Era, you're a business , but keep the CCP out of mine, and millions of Americans beloved sport. CCP DNA in New Era's coffers, OBVIOUSLY! It's been normalized as our country is being infiltrated from within. let's go Mets!

Just watching this clip then realized it’s 8 years old. Nice job dude but as you well know USA hats are done. Now to get a China made you’re scoring well, ever get one from Haiti? Brutal fit and look. Be well👍👍

Fuckin tool bag here

You look like Kipp from Napoleon Dynamite.

Yo people in comments quit knocking people on keeping the stickers man to each their own for real seriously it’s just as ridiculous. Your hat your look you can keep stickers on or off if you want plain and simple. Either way brother good video and technique man some hats take a few bends but it gets the job done

Do you know if the brim is the same size on the low crown as the high crown?

best way to break in a hat...sweat.. just wear it.

Yes the stickers look stupid

Great job man. I’m tired of watching people who know nothing about hats.

I know your a purist, but for me at least, the hairdryer treatment was,nt to actually turn my high crown New Era into a low profile hat. It was simply to soften the shape and take the "boxy" look out of the crown - I still want the high crown, but not so angular looking. I think over time they naturally loose the boxy shape anyway but the dryer will achieve the rounder shape quicker. I love the structured hat...but more so when the straight sides are softened a little. Im not into the low crown so much. Very interesting video by the way.

It's a hat you put it on you call it a day

I cant stand new crowns, they look so dumb.

This guy knows exactly what he is talking about. One example is Kris Bryant who puts very little bend at all in his hat and retains the so called boxy look; however, some players such as Josh Tomlin do wear the low profile 59fifty hat.

you're wearing a mets hat with a yankees shirt on

that doesnt fix the crown its still looks bulky depending on the persons head.

your a fucking idiot bro

If only A rod could hit a homer in the post season.

Here's the magic to keep the flatter brim & unboxing the crown....you can have both. Bake the hat in the oven at 200 Celsius (middle rack on baking sheet) for 5 minutes at a time. After 5, put the hat on and mold it to your head. Rub you hands in a downwards and backwards motion. It might take a few cycles but this will eventually make the hat perfectly fitted to your dome. When it gets tight after awhile, do it again and it will be good as new. In my experience, the high crown will actually fit better than the low crown after this method....never paid attention to China vs USA though. The hat keeps its shape better. By the way, I never touch the brim and just let it form naturally.

Smart man. Take off the stickers to avoid looking like a fuck tard

I work in minor league baseball and there is literally a room filled with Home and Away hats I can only imagine in professional baseball is the exact same thing

you fucking nerd, people can do whatever the fuck they want with their hats. Just because they're pros doesn't mean their method is more correct

ive a few made in usa and a few made in china and the made in usa are trash compared to the china ones, stitching isn't as clean and they seem more likely to have loose threads

These Made in China hats are trash, the brim is thinner and flimsier, the embroidery on the logo is thinner and the material is flimsier in general.

Thats your team but you have a Yankees jersey on lol

having a friend that now works for 59Fifty and a couple that work in Lids stores, the way you're saying to break in your cap isn't exactly correct, you don't wanna bend the cap right in the middle, it will deform the cap over time.

You have a mets hat and a Yankees shirt!! 😂😂😂😂

You're a chach bro lmao

My Chinese new era hat fits like a dream and has no loose thread issues BUT my USA made hat in the same size fits much looser than the Chinese hat and a had a few loose threads. I had to go through a few USA made hats to find one without a bunch of loose threads. I just assumed they were all made in China but this video made me realize that there is a difference.

baseball is gay. NHL>MLB

what a douchebag...

But in my opinión the crown Still looks bad

I prefer leaving the New Era sticker(because it's more unique as opposed to size stickers on jeans. It's just different.), but remove the price/barcode shi because that's tacky as hell to me. I like 'em a bit oversized and the brim flat to slightly curved. Just my preference since my style is different. But yeah, I'm here because I prefer low crown(assuming those are the ones that fit lower on your head). One thing that always bothered me is that I could never tell if I'm buying a low crown or high crown unless I'm trying it on myself. There are no labels or indicators saying which is which. Only time I know if I'm getting a low crown is when I'm buying a White Sox fitted. They always fit me low crown and that could probably be by chance.

Love the passive aggressive message at the beginning.

You're right regarding the stickers. Take them off. They look stupid.

I keep the sticker on mine and keep the brim flat cause I'm a fucking G

Like 20 years ago, I understood some or most pros didn't like the structured cap so they'd cut out the backing on the interior of the crown. It was kinda the look of the 50's and sixties like maybe Koufax. It's a slightly nerve-wracking surgery. I did it to my '96 O's 5950 and '07 Cubs 59/50. I prefer a flat bill, high crown for the last 7 years.

Nice and simple! Thats how i always do it but i dont bend my brim as much as you did. I definetly dont fuckin steam my hats and blow them in the shower and mold them like a mouth piece to my head lol!!! For that I have my reebok hats which are already broken in from factory!! New era is designed to hold its shape!

This actually makes tons of sense, I read the receipt on my giants hat I just bought, and it was from 2007, perfect condition, on field, made in U.S.A. Fit beautiful before I even bent the brim. Now I went and bought another one with a black brim rather than an orange brim, made in china, more recent hat, and it fit different. Mainly around the ears.

The Chinese caps blow away the USA caps. I own several of both. The details on USA cap are sloppy.

Not all stickers have the size on them for a good start so thats a foolish begining to the video and instead of bending the snapback brims. Why don't you just buy ones like that.

0:42 I so much agree with that O,o

hey jim...how did you get 45K+ views on this vid? any secret??

I enjoyed your video. I use a baseball and rubber bands to break in my fitted hats.I also like the brim on my hats fully curved. I only have new era caps. All the ones I have are high crown ones. I am getting my first low crown from New Era on thursday. I hope I like it

also i just barely curve my brim. not completely flat but slight curve like bryce harper or stanton kinda

this is by far the best video on how to form a hat. all those people who use hair dryers and washing machines and wear their hats in the shower are all fucking idiots. thats a waste of $35

Who the hell cares how the pros do it? Also I used to be a purely bend the bill with my hands person but if you put it in a coffee mug it keeps the bend better.

mets hat yankees shirt. bold man
