New Era’s MLB Classic Collection is a throwback
to their 90’s Pro Model fitteds. These
retro hats feature 100% wool material, a New Era tag, grey underbrim, white
sweatband, flat embroidery, and are made in the USA. This release has revitalized my interest in
New Era fitteds after years of poorly made polyester hats. I knew it was time to quit collecting
on-field fitteds as soon as the MLB batter man was missing his hat, and
occasionally the ball on the logo. Thankfully
New Era has corrected all their quality control issues and has made an immaculate
product. Every stitch is perfect, the
crown is true the original, and the sizing is correct (past hats could be off
by 3 sizes).
Please note that unlike their Heritage Wool
series from a few years back the MLB Classic Collection doesn’t have 3D
embroidery, the New Era logo on the side of the hat, or a black sweatband. Admittedly these are more subjective
preferences on a fitted that I’m personally indifferent about. Although I do love seeing the return of the
white sweatband, a feature that I used to hate but I have now grown to
love. Just seeing a brand new pristine
white sweatband just makes it look so much better. For now I have only purchased the Away blue,
Blue Jays fitted but I do plan on getting the whole Jays collection eventually.

Hi there,
ReplyDeleteMay I know where you bought the cap in Canada? I'm looking for the Yankees one but it doesn't seem to be available in the Lids stores here (Vancouver) or on Lids.ca, and neither Lids.com nor New Era would ship this item to Canada. Many thanks!
They have them in stock on lids.com style #20942527. Act fast because they sell out quick
