Hi Doug, is there a way to get a visor hard again, after cleaning?

Serious but stupid question. When you have a hat that you love but wear it and gets dirty. Are you cleaning it before storing? What about hats you wear for a day or two you just put it back in the storage box?

one black and white one multicoloured and grey... black and white hats always look better so unfair test on fashion

Great video, very informative. I’ve noticed that the crown of the older made in USA 59/fifty’s is much softer than the Chinese made ones.

I know you say it’s not good, but the first thing I do when I get a new fitted is soak it in boiling water. I do it so it can fit my head better and shape the bill to my liking.

Doug, will you be doing future critiques on college/university hats on any of the divisions. I think you'd like my university's hats. I live in New Jersey, and I attend Rowan University, and our school colors are brown and gold. We have a large hat collection from 47 Brand and Legacy, which is the main manufacturer for college hats. I find that Legacy's hats are shallow but comfortable. 47 Brand is definitely the better of the two manufacturers in terms of comfort.

Still a helpful video!!!

I bought the 9Thirty on our recent trip to japan. I believe this model is exclusive only to japan. Its a mix of the 9 twenty( nothing stiff) and the 9forty( you can really pull it down up to your ears. However i still prefer the '47 clean up for comfort and style.

I had one 7 1/4 that was so massive my other 7 1/4s fitted inside it. Their quality control is non existent. Stankeez are expensive but well worth it

Love your channel but 150 caps? 😂 i bet you have about ten regulars you wear. I cant talk tho i just started collecting recently and have already run out of wall space. How do you store your collection?

I'm searching for help to change sweatband on a NewEra new heritage cap. Sweatband is polyester but I can only wear 100% cotton. Does anybody know who can help? I asked a normal tailor for help but they can't do it as it requires a stronger sewing machine. Thanks

New Era hats are garbage.

Welcome back. Did you make those shelves yourself?

Where to position NEW ERA MVP? Thank you and greetings from Hungary.

I just wanted to say thank you man. I have generally just used the steam function on our iron, but I haven't been getting the results I wanted, and since I've got lots of 59fifties now so I decided to follow this tutorial as closely as I could (we haven't got a tea pot but I got a coffee steaming jug and put it on the hot plate to give me a constant source of steam), and my Cubs City Connect hat is looking beautiful... Almost as good as my favourite shape, 39thirty, which are basically not available here in Australia. Thank you, from a cap enthusiast down under!

hey @dre what's your thought on hat stretcher quality? Is there such a thing as a good one or bad one?

I have read of using dollar store shoe insoles.

how much does it stretch?

Yeah, the low profile 9FIFTY is pretty much a new model. I first saw it this past October during the postseason for MLB. The official hats for the teams who won the NLDS and the ALDS were low profile 9FIFTY's. This is something that intrigues me as an adjustable hat and snapback lover because I do not like the high profile crown for the traditional 59FIFTY and 9FIFTY. I currently do not own a 9FIFTY, but if I ever do make that purchase one day, I will get a low profile 9FIFTY. Are you gonna upload a video where you purchase and critique it, Doug?

I personally prefer the snug fit of the Low-Profile hats, I hate that empty space on my forehead. New Era does have issues with their sizing, I'm going back and forth between two sizes.

I love the A frames from Culture Kings

Hey good video! What size is the football?

New Era - Fitted/snapbacks M&N - snapbacks 47 - dad caps/clean ups

Very nice hats, but why would I want to wear a baseball teams hat? Not a sports fan. It would be nice if they made hats with other logos besides sports teams.

I jus got me a steamer for my hats, I've always shyed away from the 59fifty hats since they are so blocky now a days. I think I will jus have to get use to the steamer I got cuse I don't wanna burn my hat lol. How long do you think you usually need to leave it on the crowns to get it to wear the buckram is soft enough to form? Seems I have to get it pretty close to the steamer, you think it's easier trying to do one side at a time or both at same time?

I am so glad to see this. I thought I was going crazy - I have had to return three low profile hats because it wouldn’t even go all the way onto my head. It looked downright silly. I think there is also a quality control concern with the low profiles too

Wake up, people were going on to.hard time's

No, it's damn Bidenflation smfdh it's affecting caps now, FML

Thx so much 😊 RUclips #cut4072

Man I love the low profile hats. Wish they did a lot more of custom designs in low profile. But I agree there has been some inconsistencies with them, sometimes they are perfect, sometimes they are too low and rounded, and I’ve even had a few that were almost too tall more like a mid profile

I only buy the low profile 59Fifty or the 39Thirty. I'm not a fan of how tall the standard 59Fifty is, or how the bill is.

The hitch already has a curved brim?

I'm a low profile wearer and the quality control variation is insane. I ordered every SF low profile from last year and each one fits differently, even though they're all the same size. Crown shape, band sizing, bills are broken at times... New Era sucks

Honestly I can't understand why they don't just make every hat available as a 39thirty or at least a 9forty... I'm in Australia and we get a really strange selection here - but I bought a bunch of 59fifties when they were on clearance before they were going to go back to the USA (dunno why Lids ever thought MLB caps would sell here)... but Lids stores actually don't stock 39thirties at all, like literally, 0. Online has a few but only City Connect hats... And this isn't just an Aussie thing... New Era doesn't make a lot of their hats as a 39thirty... but it's such a perfect shape.

I prefer the old one, with hight crown, and still more the hats made in the USA from the 90s

Yes I’ve noticed this big time on the low profile hats… I mainly buy low profile exclusively just because it looks way better with my head shape than the standard ones. And man are they bad nowadays. They just hug your head to the point it looks downright silly. Maybe 1 out of every 4 actually look acceptable now. It’s a shame because they had them perfect before and now it’s a crap shoot on whether it’ll look right or not.

Is there a difference based on where the cap was made?

I think it could be the inconsistency of New Era in general. I have four of the low profile 59fifty caps, and they all fit and look different. My most recent one, which was a mesh-back Nationals cap I purchased in 2022, is by far the tightest and has the lowest profile, so there may be something to it.

I actually really prefer the new low profile hats. Most of the regular crowns don't look good on my small head and often times feel as thought I'm wearing a top hat. The low profiles are the only ones I buy and that actually fit me appropriately.

I'm curious to see if the reshaped Low Profile eats into the sales of the 39Thirty. I'm a fan of the 39Thirty's shape and construction, but I'm not a fan of it having a stretchy headband. The new LP 59Fifty for me is the perfect combination of shape and comfort.

Nailed this one. Glad you called it out. Ordered a low pro last month and had to return it. Looked exactly like the Seattle one you showed. Too low and round for my liking.

its dre day!

I’ve tried on a low profile before and it just didn’t work with my watermelon head. I have to go 59Fifty.

I also found this perplexing when I first encountered this phenomenon. Initially, I thought it was just another defect, but it seems to be a norm.

Im here in the UK is there any cap cl;eaners who will accept jobs from the UK? There are no cap cleaners I know of , even in the capital London?

How do I know if I'm buying a standard profile vs a low profile when I'm shopping online?

I have a bunch of hats like this and most of them are from the Laos factory. They have a real problem with too much volume in the crown and the bulging front panels. I have one from Laos, a custom Padres, with a "fielding Friar" side patch, that makes your Omaha Storm Chasers hat look like a low profile 59fifty. It's a really cool hat that I simply cannot wear.

Anyone else notice that the sizes on the 59fifty aren’t always the same? I wear a 7 5/8 and mostly fits perfectly but I have maybe 50 hats and probably 5 are tighter than the others. Great to see you back

Bro is Back❤

Love that black St. Louis Cardinal’s cap. I need one between 71/2-75/8. 🥲wishful thinking 💭
