History:
Behind the New Era flag exists an 85-year-history filled with
passion, integrity and pride – qualities reflected in the highly
crafted headwear New Era produces in the United States and overseas.
New Era’s history is steeped in a 70 year relationship with
Major League Baseball. New Era is the largest sports-licensed
headwear company in the world.
How to care for your
New Era cap: Key things to remember... If you make
the cap wet, it will take on shape as it dries! If you don't
provide the shape, it will shrink to its own smaller shape.
If you want it to fit your head, dry it on your head. If you
want it to be shaped like a coffee mug, dry it in a mug. If
you use rubber bands and you make the rubber bands too tight,
you will see rubber band marks.
Cleaning a 59FIFTY...never
wash the cap! The cap is made of wool and you will ruin its
shape. To clean the headband, take a wet washcloth and put a
little detergent and a little Spray and Wash and gently rub
down the headband with the wet wash cloth. After you have sufficiently
cleaned the headband of sweat stains and soil, rinse the wash
cloth out with clear water and once again wash down the headband,
cleaning up any left soap. Let dry and your cap will be ready
to go again. Some sweat stains stay in but at least the cap
will be clean.
Dusty caps?
Things like a little cat hair or lint, just take some masking
tape and wrap some of it around your fingers so the sticky side
is exposed and dab the hat with the tape. The tape will pick
up all the lint and anything else on the cap.
Just a little big?
Take a spray bottle of water and spray the headband with the
water, then let dry in the sun on top of an empty coffee can.
Or, just let it dry without being elevated by the can. You can
also dry it with a good portable hair dryer. DO NOT put them
in the dryer!
Too tight?
What happens is the sweatband does its job and collects any
moisture when you are wearing the cap. Without a head to hold
its shape and size, it will shrink as it dries. For starters,
grab your cap from the rear of the cap, place it over your knee
and give a good hard yank. You will hear some popping noises.
That's O.K. Stop pulling after you hear a couple of these noises.
If you pull too hard and too long, you could rip a seam. What
you are actually doing is breaking the sizing, which is a stiff
plastic strap that is sewn into the cap for shape and size maintenance.
