Two iconic brands — one old and one new — have collaborated to create a hat that every fan needs.
When it comes to hats and caps, there’s no bigger name than New Era. It was founded in 1920 as the E. Koch Cap Company with founder Ehrhardt Koch and 14 employees. Two years later, the name would change to New Era Cap Company.
The rest, as they say, is history.
What is the New Era 59FIFTY hat?
In just 20 years New Era was already producing caps for plenty of professional baseball teams, but in 1954 their traditional fitted hat was tweaked and named the “Brooklyn Style” cap which is what we know as the 59FIFTY.
By the mid-1980’s New Era debuted the “Diamond Collection” of on-field caps, allowing fans to wear the same hats their favorite players wear.
The 59FIFTY has been the king of the mountain ever since.
They’ve expanded into nearly every major sports league, creating hats in various styles. They’ve got low crown, high crown, structured fit, unstructured fit, relaxed, fitted… you name it, they make it.
But the undisputed champion is the 59FIFTY.
Every fan has one in their closet. At least one, I should say. I might have six or seven. Maybe I have a problem (but I don’t think so).
But that’s just one half of the equation. Just Don takes the classic style of the New Era 59FIFTY and adds in some new flair.
Founded in 2011 by Don C — a former manager of Kanye West — Just Don is a streetwear company with an emphasis on high-end designs and materials. Some of the designs can be a little out there, but this collaboration with New Era makes for some really stand out caps/hats.
