Benny Gold x New Era – ‘Doughboy’ 59Fifty

As part of his Fall/Winter 2008 Collection Benny Gold designed these New Era 59Fifty fitted hats which are inspired by a character in the Boyz N The Hood movie from 1991. Ice Cube who started in the movie played a character by the name of Doughboy and throughout the movie you could spot him wearing a Detroit cap with an Old English style D embroidered on the front. Benny Gold took the idea of the hat and the Ol’ English styled D and transformed it into a “B” to fit the Benny Gold brand. Also included into the design is the paper airplane design Benny Gold has made famous as well as a argyle underbrim and liner and Benny Gold embroidered across the back of the crown.  The Benny Gold “Doughboy” New Era 59Fifty fitted is currently on its way to BG retailers across the country so hit em up to cop one of these fitteds before they are gone.
