@@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
@@rickywilsoniv4414 wow. You know alot about them. I was thinking of buying 1 but from your description maybe not. As well as being bad quality they probably use forced labour? 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.
Bullshit. Take a good look at your new era hat. There is nothing human about these shitty overpriced garbage hats. Most hats are made in a third world country by poor indigenous people that get cents for every $50 hat. This is some r&d dept. In this video
@@wenjilu Right. Imagine 100's of people sitting side by side or standing side by side in an assembly line each performing a different task. Producing triple the volume in triple the time making pennies a day
Not in the latter years 😅. Living in Europe and having to import them just to get made in USA ones and then finding out the sizing had changed (around 2012ish) to on par with made in China ones so they were too big and returning them was way too costly ☠
@@gelino14I have two 47 SF Giants hats and they both have plastic inserts. You can tell by tapping on them, they make a loud sound, cardboard inserts sound hollow. 😎
The ones that are the MLB on field fitted hats are the ones made in the USA and the ones all 30 teams use in real games and cost $35.The rest unfortunately are made in other countries adjustable velcro,trucker,ect.
I figured these were made in China. When I try to buy one I take several of "my size" off the shelf and try them on until I find one that fits. They are not made to a uniform size at all. I never or one online because of this.
They made them from the beginning to 2007. Since then they started to manufacture them overseas although almost all Onfield caps were still made in the US. But I think the last US factory closed few years ago, so every cap is made somewhere else but USA.
even tho the quality sucks now a days I still spend 2 hundred a year on new era caps despite the mis sharpen crowns crooked brims and off set stitching facts not to mention inconsistant sizing facts
Wilson,, its cause they are all made in damn china!!!! every once ina while youll get the odd MADE IN USA. i once ordered 20 of the same hat from Lids just in hopes of getting a USA one,, the quality is night and day.. material is way sharper and brighter
So the size is determined and the bottom edge band but all the material throughout the rest of the cap is all the same size? I have a smaller head. No wonder while my hats may fit, they are a little bulgy throughout the hate while people with bigger heads probably have a more solid fit. SMH
Yeah New Era scams everybody now with their false “Official On-Field Cap of MLB” advertising. The players get the Made in USA hats, us peasant fans get the garbage imported hats. How New Era has avoided a class action lawsuit for so long is beyond me
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
If it’s not a 100% wool made in the USA New Era.. it isn’t a New Era. I make sure all of my Red Sox hats are made in the USA. Most New Era hats are not. Sad.
TheRanhughes who the fuck are you to know what I have ? This ass clown is making fun of this lady who is just trying to do her job. Little pompous losers making fun of middle aged women for the way they talk is absurd. So yea ran hughes go fuck your self .
I like the fact that the hats still have a human touch and thus making each one unique.
but not anymore.

New Era 59fifty cap is cool.
cardboard is not good because most people clean there caps with water
you're right, what material do you think is best??
@@gelino14 plastic visor inserts
Wonder why the pro caps use cardboard instead of plastic? Granted this video was uploaded 10 yrs ago maybe it's changed since then.

3:15 yankee with no brim
wait so the visor is made of cardboard? hard to believe cause what happens when it gets wet?
It dries 😏
It gets soft over time.
Is New Era still making cardboard brims?! Thought they switched to plastic long ago?
Hector Alonso Its definitely still cardboard.
@@yankeemike8699 how tf do you wash it with the cardboard brim then lol
@@BoosterDuck9 you don’t 🤣
Looks at New Era cap .. Made in China. GG.

not anymore, 98% of New Era caps are made in China now, even the on field cap.
Trump will fix it ;) And all others making out the U.S...Heads are gonna roll
I order like 1000 of the same hat just to find a USA one,, China ones are garbage!!!!
mariomania I just got a made in USA pirates hat
WOOOW YANKY WITH NO BRIM

New Era Caps Are Made in Buffalo, New York(USA)
@@kjchicago1 most are made in China, Bangladesh, and Haiti. Very few are still made in the U.S.A.

wow the employee actually cares about the correct sizing and centering of the brim! now they just sew everything on randomly. Total crap
Cardboard? I thought they used a hard plastic?
ill take one in 7 3/4 thanx .
3:22 classic David Brent look lol

Why used cardboard?
they need a quality assurance person because new era hats quality is inconsistent as fuck
Nathaniel varela so true
Yankee w no brim
mine was made in Bangladesh 😂 not the USA and it's the "on field" 59fifty

They’re making gang paraphernalia!!
Cardboard,, what a joke. No wonder they’re junk.
What were they before?
@@fantasticvoyage262 Most are plastic nowadays
Lets go Buffalo
_mine are made in Myanmar._
what a waste having a box that size for one little cap...........
they stuff more usually
what
+Chaz Madge it was just an example.... im sure they do ship more hats in those size boxes..
That’s how they justify charging the high prices for your newly overpriced Americanese hats
Can't even produce an Ottawa Senators cap without making the logo look messed up. Look it up
Yankee With no Brim
wish more leather fitted caps are made
Roman Reigns Gay.
i wanttt Ny capppp😭😭😭😭😭
If it’s not a 100% wool made in the USA New Era.. it isn’t a New Era. I make sure all of my Red Sox hats are made in the USA. Most New Era hats are not. Sad.
All new era hats are made in China if you buy one that’s made in the USA then it’s an older hat and the mlb symbol on back is also different
I would rather get a new baseball cap than a haircut.
So disappointing. they miss the shaping process
It might be a commercial secret
buy mine at the stadium, they were from china. Their quality control on sizing is piss poor!
card board brims -_- that is why i prefer vintage hats.
Wow!!! That lady does alot of work!!!!! Wonder how much do they pay her that's a risky and dangerous business!!!!!
