B I G HATZ


So my topic for this week is big hats. Im talking about big new york style baseball caps. Not the type that your granny wears once a year on easter sunday. Im talking about the 2 sizes to big new era baseball caps that every youngyan has on is the city. I have been here only a week and a half, and already the contagious spirit for me to go out and replace my already fitted and molded New york Yankee blue cap has crossed my mind. Be it that I have a rather large head already, i would think that the sizes that i would have to choose from would be limited. But not here in good old NYC. I quickly found a size in Champs that would allow me to fit right in to this oversized NYC, and american society. Where wearing your clothes really big is the popular trend amongst the youngsters of the nation, I find that the way they wear their hats may actually present a better look all around.

Tips on the way to buy a B I G HAT.
- take your head size and add at least a 1/2 inch. meaning if you wear a 6" cap, you should at least buy a 6 1/2
- make sure that the brim of the cap flows straight across your forehead. there can be no breakage in your brim. this shows proper fitting.
- anything with NY on the cap is a best seller. LA is also a good alternative.
- make sure it is New Era, they pretty much have a monopoly on the industry. although there are other cap companies. very few have the fit and look of the New Era.
- look for the best price, because in NYC the trend is to wear your hat 2 sizes to big, the prices here are much more than those in LA, starting at $31.99 in many places
