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.

At Dakonda, you'll find the latest New Era collections and limited editions. There's always something to suit your style!


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.
