Caps and clothing New Era for the city

Caps, fleece, mesh: what makes up the selection

The New Era lifestyle page is based on three families. Baseball caps make up the bulk of the catalogue, followed by fleece (hoodies, crew neck sweatshirts, joggers) and t-shirts. Next are American football jerseys, beanies, shorts, backpacks, and some small accessories like keychains or tote bags.

A name for a cap, a precise shape

At New Era, the name of a cap describes its shape, not its collection. Remembering five names is enough to keep track.

• The 9FORTY is the most common on the page: structured crown, curved visor, and adjustable strap at the back. It fits most adult heads.
• The 59FIFTY is fitted, with no adjustment, a flat visor, and a high crown. It's the shape worn by MLB players, to be chosen according to exact head size.
• The 9TWENTY is soft and unstructured, with a low profile. It easily folds in a bags without damage.
• The 9FIFTY features a flat visor and a high crown, with a snapback closure.
• The 39THIRTY offers an elastic band and a curved visor: a middle ground between fitted and adjustable.

Trucker models, with their mesh back, round out the offer for those who want more breathability.

The NFL mesh jersey, the surprise of the page

American football jerseys are the textile item that Basket-Center customers choose the most from New Era. Cut from lightweight mesh, they feature the numbers and colours of NFL franchises, like the Saints, Steelers, Vikings, Seahawks, or Raiders. They are worn loose, over a t-shirt or hoodie, with joggers or wide jeans. It's the piece that gives a Sunday match look without being a costume.

Yankees, Dodgers, Bulls: logos that leave the stadium

The NY logo of the Yankees dominates the page, on caps as well as on sweatshirts and joggers. It has become a true style symbol, worn well beyond baseball fans. The Los Angeles Dodgers follow, along with two NBA franchises, the Bulls and the Lakers. The team filter also brings up the Athletics, Mets, Red Sox, White Sox, Raiders, or 49ers, and even the Red Bull Racing team for motorsport enthusiasts.

For a more discreet outfit, the Essentials pieces (joggers, shorts, t-shirts) feature just the small New Era flag, without team logos.

Other lifestyle brands to pair

A New Era cap easily matches the rest of the streetwear offered on Basket-Center. The beret or bucket hat from the Kangol page provides an alternative for days without a visor. The sweatshirts and cargo trousers from Project X Paris offer a more stylish cut. In terms of shoes, the city sneakers from adidas and Fila complete the look. All brands are gathered on the lifestyle brands page.

Paying less for New Era throughout the year

The best times for a New Era cap or sweatshirt are the major sales events. The Black Friday lifestyle kickstarts the season, the Christmas page follows for gifts, and then there are the sales. For the rest of the year, clearance offers come via the clearance and good deals. In a hurry? The page shipped in 24 hours only includes items ready to go.

Frequently asked questions

Why are 59FIFTY sizes written in fractions?

It's the sizing system for American hats: 7 1/4, 7 3/8, or 7 1/2 each correspond to a head circumference in centimetres. The size guide on the product page provides the conversion. Measure your head with a tape measure, just above the eyebrows, and enter it into the chart.

Will a 9FORTY fit a big head?

Its strap covers most adult head sizes, but it is intended for a medium size. Beyond that, a 59FIFTY in your exact size will fit better. The 39THIRTY, with its elastic band, also comes in several sizes.

Are there New Era caps for kids?

Yes, a few models are made for younger ones, especially in Yankees colours. Use the age filter to see them. An adult adjustable cap pulled to the maximum often remains too large for a child.

How does a New Era NFL jersey fit?

It is cut loose, American style. Take your usual size for a loose fit like in the stands, or one size down if you prefer a closer fit. Compare with a t-shirt you often wear, laid flat, armpit to armpit.

How to store a flat visor cap?

Lay it flat on a shelf or hang it up, without stacking anything on top. Avoid folding it in a bags: the flat visor marks easily. For travel, slide it on top of clothes, with the crown filled with a rolled t-shirt.
