Hats

In our quest to deliver more products to the public as well as respond to folks who have requested this, we decided to look into hats for our Series2 release that will be available within the next few months. In doing so, we researched two big players in the hat game: 1) NewEra 2) Flexfit. Unfortunately, NewEra isn't accepting new clients for their popular 5950 line until the end of July08/beginning Aug08. Due to the baseball season and high demand, this popular style as well as the 4940 isn't available. However, Flexfit has a similar style -- which is the 6210 Premium fit (Pro-baseball on field shape with flat visor) that is widely available. We really dig these hats because it's "stretchable" fabric. In other words, there's only 2 sizes to order from: S/M (6 7/8"-7 1/4") and L/XL (7 1/4"-7 5/8") rather than ordering various different sizes for the customer. If some of you are wondering which companies currently use Flexfit, there's quite a few: Hurley, Element, Independent and DC are just some of the big players that come to mind. Our contact here on the West Coast has been extremely helpful in assisting us with the development/prototyping and ordering of the hats. We will be in LA this weekend to check out the samples. Since the majority of our items are limited, we will be having these specific hats made with an extremely "low" quantity; therefore, the color "and" design of the hat will no longer be available once sold out. Unfortunately, you guys will have to wait a little bit longer to see some sample pics. :) Furthermore, we're still deciding whether or not we will be accepting pre-orders. But, as time permits and Series2 starts to become a reality, we will let you know.
