New Era makes amazing
hats. However, since I first fell in
love with their on-field 59fifty from the late 90’s, I decided that I only want
to buy hats that resembled those glory days. Back then hats were 100% wool, made in the
USA, had grey under brims, and didn’t include the New Era logo. So my reason for making this post isn’t so
much to disrespect New Era by removing their logo, but rather it’s to customize
my hat to look the way those older fitteds used to look.
In order to remove
the logo, the first thing I recommend is to have lots of patience because this
task takes lots of time, and concentration.
You want to begin by using a sharp knife that gets under each thread and
individually cuts them (while I have seem other customizers use a seam cutter
to remove the thread I don’t recommend one because it can warp the wool
material). As your cutting the threads,
you also want to use tweezers to detach each thread. And finally you want to use some tape (I use painters
tape) to clean off any excessive threads, which will also leave the wool
spotless. Once you’re done your fitted
should resemble a New Era fitted from the past.
