Post Your New Eras*59-Fiftys*etc... VOL. INFINITY NOW W/ Henz0/Thunderchunk/Icy's FAQ ON PG.1

Alright. Imma look into getting that LA28 Olympic hat made for the group. It’ll take me a minute. I’ll open up a list for sizes in the next month or so

Also I’m seeing if i can finesse NE for a refund. Received my just caps order and the barcoded price tag read $22.00. I’m trying to spin the law since i live in Cali and it’s against the law to charge higher than the advertised, marked or indicated price of an item, even if it’s an error. Emailed them this morning with pics so we’ll see what happens.

A mix of grabs from hometown shops, Topperz and eBay the last few months finally getting to me here, putting me at 61 Winnipeg/Manitoba hats now.

- 1996 2000-ish Manitoba Moose New Era snapback that I've only ever seen in a catalog photo from eBay, deadstock with tags (!!!).
- Two Manitoba Moose + Winnipeg Whips from local shops (finally, hometown love for hometown teams!)
- Topperz Winnipeg Whips
- 1993-ish Winnipeg Jets from eBay
- CC Ruff Ryders from eBay.

The Jets is crazy. Never seen this particular NHL logo before, so I'm sure it pre-dates the 1994/95 puck logo.
Havent been in here in a min... that Jets is fire!
 
How are the hat made in Vietnam quality wise
Not a great sample size but I own two from a few years back. I’d say worse than China and Bangladesh. The wool/poly felt almost like canvas in a sense. It definitely felt like a downgrade. Maybe newer Vietnam or Laos or Haiti made caps are better?

I need a simple, black colored white Sox hat with a decent looking side patch
That’s asking a lot lol. You’d think these cool patches would also be on team color caps but they sort of aren’t

Check out burdeen and grandstandsox. You’ll see a few asg 03 plain janes, Italy flag, Chicago flag, and ws05s. Not much else out there
 
Jackpot.
Hit on a hat lot with vague photos. Hunch paid off after a second confirmation of tags/under brim colors.

All three are 2000-2003 mlb on field caps. Made in USA. 100% wool. Grey unders.

Sizing is bad though. I wanna say they’re closer to 7 1/2, so they may go back out.


That White Sox :hat

My man... :nthat:

I'll play devil's advocate and say that the only Vietnam I have (black Winnipeg Whips), isn't bad at all. I'm a 3/8, I grabbed the only 1/4 I could find and it fits fine without having to stretch it.
 
I think they’d have to honor it if you purchased prior to that mandate.
 
^^^ yeah I was happy they did this pre-order. That Rays was a must and I fumbled it on Saturday and most shops were out of my size. It'll come in time for Xmas when I can wrap it up and ask the wife to give me $50 and say she got it for me lol
 
What’s realistically going to happen to topperzstores inventory? Someone gonna buy some sizes and make it onto the auction block? Will prices soar? Will hats sit? Will they go under? Will people look for euro sources of shippers? All this leads to a big increase in a basic msrp sense. Not sure they have enough people willing to drop $65-$70 on every release consistently.

Anyone else seeing a sizing shift in what’s selling out first? It’s now the larger sizes. Those used to sit the longest. Not anymore. Maybe places are buying way less of those sizes? They always used to be the last to go

Depending on how much they actually have sitting not much. I'm sure they'll cut their order amounts once they see how much sales drop. Obviously this will be a test phase to see how it's gonna affect their incoming and current new inventory.

People might use reshippers but who knows. I doubt they'll increase the price although they've been the ones without an increase lately.
