    I like the fact that the hats still have a human touch and thus making each one unique.

      @@legopeaces all the work was outsourced to foreign countries. You can always tell the difference between fitted hats from China, from USA, Bangladesh (the worst) and Vietnam (awful). The US always had different material that made it look softer and had more of an old school baseball feel, they also would sit a different way on your head with a lot of crown variations.. forget about recently, if you really wanna talk the holy grail of these hats you’d look at one from 1996-2009 it something. The China ones are more stiff and have a more uniform look, the material is rougher, it’s not bad, I own some good China hats and they look clean, but they’re obviously cheaper looking meaning they’re cheaper to make: The crowns are debatable, like I said I’ve been able to spend time and get some ones that fit and conform to my head- but anyone who is a fan of USA made hats probably has the opinion that their crowns sit too high or too wide. Bangladesh 🇧🇩 is complete garbage, and it seems a year or two after they stopped making in USA, they ramped up production in Bangladesh. I could barely find made in China anymore in stores or online it’d be hit or miss. They are grotesquely wide and stupidly tall, anyone who doesn’t have a circular shaped head is in trouble. They do good on people with bigger rounder heads, I always look at those hats in amazement imagining it could fit a watermelon or Frankenstein. Cheap smelly material, it’s stiff and more dull than the Chins ones. I gave up somewhere around 3 years ago, since 2020 new era has been straight trash and I haven’t gotten a hat since, sadly, wish I could find a good one but I can’t. Also the way they put the NE logo on every hat now I think looks tacky and is sellout behavior, one of the many little reasons I don’t watch baseball anymore too

Considering there are less laws preventing it in certainty Asian countries. Hopefully one day we will both be able to buy one. Hopefully they up the quality and lower the slavery.

    Why the button on the top? It's the last thing they do before it gets boxed up and not required for the manufacture of the hat. They are the most annoying things if you try to wear a baseball helmet (or any kind of helmet) over your cap. It focuses the pressure to a little point that digs into the top of your head. I pull them off with a plyers.

    this made me sad to see, since no more made in USA. China hats are crap, but sometimes can find one that fits appropriate, although rare. Unfortunately in 2019 most seem to be made in Bangladesh, which is even more horrific than China. The material is cheap, the sides stick out over your ears, and the crowns are so bulbous you could fit it over a bowling ball. This was the final straw that made me no longer purchase them
