..."puttin' on the blinders," began. Diehards in the east'll tell you that it was started in the twenties on the streets of Philadelphia, while others scoff and tell how farmboys on the plains would roll their bills to cut out the glare from the hot sun on Kansas ball fields, long before the century turned. Either way, great fielders agree on the powerful tunnel vision effect that helps to lock down on a blistering grounder or separate the roaring crowds from the towering fly balls as they take you to the fence. And if it took twenty distinct steps to make each New Era 59FIFTY pro cap we'd be proud to tell you just that. But it doesn't, it takes 22. That's because we're not into quicker or easier, but into doing what it takes. We found it takes 22. That's all the stitching, folding, fusing, embroidering, steam-blocking, and kissing it goodbye. That's 44 different hands, and 44 eyes on 22 real-live people who together share a single dedication to quality and craftsmanship and the elimination of errors. Pick up any cap close to you. If it has embroidery, get it real close to an eyeball. Look at it. If it's one of ours, you'll see layer upon layer of meticulous embroidery. Each piece of embroidered art has anywhere between 8,000 and 31,000 stitches. That could mean an hour and a half on one of our embroidery machines for the artwork on just one cap. But it's worth every minute. The embroidery is the icing on the cake. Each stitch is carefully plotted. Point A to point B. If it takes 22,000 stitches to complete a team logo, well, that's 44,000 points that must be plotted. This information is used for a test run. And people with years of experience critique those tests. If thread number 12,766 isn't right, they'll see it and we'll fix it. That's not easy work. But you're going to wear that work on your head. It's art. Have you ever witnessed hundreds of hands flying? There are hundreds of sewing machines in our factories. And highly-skilled people behind each one. Panels are joined. Seam tape is attached. Eyelets are trimmed. Visors are fastened to crowns. It's an art. One of the most important jobs is running a seam around the circumference of each cap to keep the lower edges from rolling under. And there just isn't a machine that can do it right. (Oh sure, machines have automated a few of the steps along the way, but even those steps have to be monitored by people who know what makes a good cap good.) Sweat. You'll put plenty into your own cap someday. We put some in already. Part of the reason each New Era cap looks as good as it does is because of a process called blocking. Most of our competitors have decided this step isn't worth the effort. Others use a machine. Just before each New Era cap gets packed up, it gets a steam bath. Then someone puts your cap on a wooden block and shapes it. All that steam and sweat and the wood help to press the seams flat, raise the embroidery and do something really iinteresting. Add luster. Add love.
