The New Era page brings together the caps from the historic American baseball manufacturer: the fitted 59FIFTY, the adjustable 9FORTY, the relaxed and faded 9TWENTY, the snapback 9FIFTY, and the truckers. The logos range from the New York Yankees to the Knicks, from the New England Patriots to the Saints and to FC Barcelona.
Founded in Buffalo in 1920, New Era has become the manufacturer of the official caps for Major League Baseball. Its team logos are now worn far beyond the stadiums.
Each style has a name with a number, a useful reference for choosing.
The 59FIFTY is the fitted cap, without adjustment, chosen for its exact size. High crown, flat visor: it's the model worn on the fields.
The 9FORTY has an adjustable strap at the back and features a structured crown and a curved visor. The E-Frame version has a taller crown.
Without structure, the 9TWENTY conforms to the head; its faded versions have a retro vibe.
The 9FIFTY is the brand's snapback: flat visor and snap closure. The Heritage line features logos from the archives, like that of the New York Highlanders.
For easy adjustment, the 9FORTY or the 9TWENTY. For a perfectly fitted cap, the 59FIFTY, provided you know your size. For a streetwear style, the 9FIFTY. For summer, a trucker cap with mesh.
The 59FIFTY is not adjustable: you need to know your head circumference, measured with a tape measure around the forehead, and compare it to the size guide. It should fit without squeezing the forehead.
Hoodie, denim, trainers: the basic outfit for a New Era. A faded 9TWENTY pairs well with a denim shirt or work jacket. A discreet logo, tone on tone, can be worn with a more understated outfit.
A brush to remove dust, a bit of soapy water on the inner band, and then let it dry on a round form. Avoid the washing machine, which distorts the crown and visor.
For all models, check out the sections on baseball caps and snapbacks, and the page '47. Other brands can be found in the men's accessories by brand.
The 59FIFTY is fitted and chosen for its size, while the 9FORTY is adjustable at the back.
