New Era Original Wooden Fitted Hat Sizing Blocks

Monday, December 29  

new-era-original-wooden-cap-blocks

Now this is something i find pretty interesting, specially since it dates back to the early days of New Era. Shown above are original New Era wooden sizing blocks. These are what New Era use to use to size up the fitted caps before the blocking machine was created. The wooden blocks themselves date back to the early 1920s. I would love to have a few of these sitting around as just something to place my cap on when i walk in the door or as pieces to display certain caps.

The New Era original wooden sizing blocks are for sale now at the New Era Flagship stores for a price of $29.99 and are available in all sizes from 7-8. Via: CtotheJL

While doing my daily browsing on Ebay for fitted hats i came across this somewhat rare NY Yankees New Era hat. Now, before you get it twisted, this is NOT an official New Era design, its an official New Era hat just not a design they released themselves. The New Era Yankees hat is from a shop in Washington Heights, NY. The Washington Heights area of NYC is loaded with NY Yankees fan and down there theres a shop which pretty much customizes Yankees hats to included various designs or fabrics, one of them being this Yankees hat designed with Louis Vuitton fabric. You dont see these caps for sale online all to often and the only place i know of them being big is in NYC and Washington Heights.

The hat is currently up for auction on Ebay with a current price of $90.08 (USD). They seller is located in Australia and currently there are 17bids on the hat with just over 2 days left in the auction. The cap is not brand new, it has been worn a few times and its listed in a size 7 3/8. After the jump is a few more pictures and if your interested you can check out the Ebay Auction.
