6 7/8 and 7s are the hardest to find, nothing dope is ever left in that size

Damn. I always see those sizes available when I'm looking. Have you tried capanova.com? That's where I got these from

 

[paulwest1985]

I didn't even know hats above size 8 existed

Yea man. S*** is SUPER difficult to find! I could fit a 8, but the band is too tight on my dreads.

Ever considered Stankeez to fill the room? Might be able to get into a 7 1/8 with one of them in maybe.

Hadn't heard of this product, maybe ill cop a cheap clearance 7 1/8 and check it out, appreciate the info!


I wouldnt have considered myself a "fitted collector," I always just kind of buy what I liked at the moment or to match something. Just counted I have 37 hats...thats a damn collection

Back to the basics for the holiday weekend
Past days of wears into the weekend

1995 ws patched Cleveland Indians large wahoo retro
Made in China 100% poly
Grey under/ flat batterman

This cap is from 2012-2015, so it’s sort of an earlier retro featuring a side patch. The patch is stitched with a light ish tan type gold stitching. The background is actually Black here. Not sure why they didn’t just use the dark navy background.
This one has had extensive wear. It’s starting to turn brown/yellow. How are these random cleaners and products?
Is there a way to truly maintain a cap? I sweat in caps in the summer. It seems natural. I have some basic lids cleaner/water proofer from a decade back that I casually use. But I don’t clean my hats after every wear and if they age, they age. I have a box of older caps that sort of need to be cleaned but their crowns are caved in and the hats are dirty and probably stinky.. at a certain point; they cardboard and poly/wool crowns just degrade. It’s life. It feels inevitable so I have sort of stopped babying caps. Any one got experience with these cleaners out there?
Once a grey under wool starts to turn, it seems impossible to get it back to pristine. But maybe these products work???

Another wear
2000 era Anaheim angels Disney A alternate on field cap
One of the first on fields to feature a black under
This ones made in the usa with 100% wool. Black under with white sweatband.

I had that Angels hat in high school. Bought it for $10 at Just for Feet.

First time ordering from Hat Heaven. Any estimates for shipping times?

 

[djlunchbox]

Had to do it 1 time for the culture. Back to being retired lol

 

[g-time]

Man I just can’t do the camp hats lol.

First time ordering from Hat Heaven. Any estimates for shipping times?

Honestly, a lot like HC if you’ve ordered from them. It could be shipped within a day, or a week.
Free shipping method using usps, so that again could be 2 days or 6 days.

Just don’t order the wrong item. They weren’t very helpful when I wanted to switch out a hat/size. They said it was already in the system for their warehouse. HC and even 4ucaps were able to adjust on the fly

I also had one issue where they sent the wrong hat and basically wanted me to go through the return portal to try and get a refund where they would have to manually override any handling or shipping fees back. I ended up just keeping the hat. They’ve been above par since those two instances

Last few orders from HH
Ordered 12/14/21. Didn’t hear anything about anything. I canceled my order 12/17

Ordered 1/7/22. Shipped 1/10. Received 1/13
Ordered 2/26/22. Shipped 2/28. Received 3/2
Ordered 7/5/22. Shipped 7/7. Received 7/9
Ordered 7/11. Shipped 7/12. Received 7/15
Ordered 12/12/222. Shipped 12/13. Received 12/16
Ordered 12/26. Shipped 12/28. Received 12/30.

And just recently. Ordered 4/14/23. Shipped 4/19. Received 4/21

They seem to average out to about 2-3 days turnaround plus the time in transit depending on how far from NY you are.

Sorry for the history lesson.

Major League Indians and Guardians.

Where from?
I’m guessing this is themed off of the movie poster?
Anything Indians seems impossible especially guardian script caps. The Cs caps tend to stay just a bit longer

Random question for anyone
What constitutes an exclusive?
I see capsule hats did a 1997 ws wahoo hat. It looks like every other wahoo hat with that side patch. Is it the see through box or the pin that makes it an exclusive?

 

[langfor5]

wallyhopp thank you for the detailed explanation. Plan on moving to a new house in 8 days so I don’t think the free shipping would be quick enough.

Two new pickups

Both are 2002-2005 era authentic onfields. Grey unders/ made in USA wool greatness. Didn’t hesitate to pickup for below current retail.

Seattle mariners returned to this initial all navy road set and went full time sometime around 2002-2003. Prior to that, the teal bill cap was seemingly the more popular choice and find for buyers even today. This ‘road’ turned home/away cap is harder to find for this specific era. By 2004, they actually went with a black under (one of mlbs first few to do so).

When I talk about fuzz. This is a great example. Todays Bangladesh or China caps are very slick in comparison. These new era wools aren’t quite ebbets field fuzzy but it’s close. 2002-2006 was new eras best era imho.

I still can’t find a road tigers cap so I’ll continue to stockpile the classic home cap.
