Tutorial: How to choose your ideal cap (with New Era style)

1. What are you going to use it for?

Before you rush into buying, ask yourself this:

• Do you want it to protect you from the sun?

• Looking for an urban touch for your outfits?

• Will you use it for sports or for everyday use?

Depending on your goal, you can choose between more functional or more fashion-focused models.

2. Choose the type of cap

New Era offers several styles to suit different tastes:

• 59FIFTY (Fitted): Closed cap with no back adjustment. This is the classic baseball cap, the most iconic. Ideal if you're looking for a professional and authentic look.

• 9FIFTY (Snapback): With adjustable closure. Perfect if you want to combine style and comfort.

• 9FORTY: A more relaxed style with a curved visor and Velcro or metal adjustment. Very versatile.

• Trucker: Mesh back, very cool for summer. Gives a casual look with a retro feel.

• Bucket Hats and Beanies: Alternatives for other seasons or more streetwear styles.

3. Take into account the shape of your face

• Round face: Opt for flat visors or tall caps (like the 59FIFTY) that flatter your face.

• Long face: Curved visors better balance proportions.

• Square face: Trucker caps or caps with soft lines look great.

4. Size and fit

New Era caps are manufactured with different sizing systems:

• Fitted (59FIFTY): Make sure you measure your head properly. It's a good idea to use a tape measure or try on several styles if you're in a store.

• Snapback and Strapback: Easier to adjust, ideal if you want to give it as a gift or don't know your exact size.

5. Design: Your Personal Touch

This is where your style comes into play. New Era has designs for every taste:

• MLB, NBA, or NFL teams: If you're a fan of American sports.

• Plain or minimalist styles: For a more urban or elegant look.

• Special collaborations: Like Disney, Marvel or urban artists.

6. Maintenance and care

A good cap deserves pampering:

• Clean it by hand with a soft brush.

• Avoid washing machine , as it may deform the visor.

• Store it neatly , preferably on a shelf or hanging to maintain its shape.
