Got another new Ebay Find for you, this time a couple Capture The Flag New Era Hats.

Mr. Burton kept the style of the hat nice and simple with a brown plaid design on both the crown and brim with a green Burton logo on the front. The liner of the cap on the other hands carries a little bit more detail displaying the numerous logos Burton has used over the years laid out on a goldish color satin liner. Jack Burtons autograph is of course included on a signed and numbered card which comes in a metal case with the hat.

Upper Playground x New Era December 2008 Fitted Hats
The New Era fitted hats designed by the Upper Playground crew for December ‘08 have officially hit their webstore and flagship stores. This month Upper Playground presents 3 new fitted hat designs, 1 created by Jeremy Fish and 2 created by Upper Playground themselves.
First off you got the “Bunny Hole” New Era Fitted Hat which was designed by Jeremy Fish as part of his superFishal line. The hat features a rich brown tweed fabric on the crown and brim with brown corduroy under the visor. The embroidery on the crown features a bunny peaking out of a hole, much like its cousin the groundhog which UP and Jeremy Fish hope will bring us an early spring.
The next 2 hats are designed by Upper Playground. The fitted on the left uses the Upper Playground Walrus logo and features a classic black and white pinstripe design. This is grown man fabric, not for the boys as Upper Playground says. The hat on the left is known as the Captain New Era complete with golden oak leaf embellishments or “scrambled eggs.” All of the hats are available at Upper Playground stores in Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, San Francisco, Berkeley, Los Angeles, New York and online at the Upper Playground Webstore.
Follow the jump for a shot of each hat, including a video put together by Upper Playground and Jeremy Fish for the Bunny Hole New Era Hat.
