The Material Story

  • Slide 1:Green baseball cap with a logo on a white background

    CORDUROY

    A New Era staple. Cord is versatile, tactile, and built for everyday wear. Whether it’s the 9FORTY, 19TWENTY, or a classic Cord jacket, corduroy runs through caps, apparel, and accessories.

  • Slide 2:Navy blue cap with 'NE' logo on a white background

    WOOL

    Premium comfort meets heritage style. From Melton wool for a classic look, to Merino blends for lightweight luxury, and speckled finishes for novelty detail, wool gives headwear an elevated edge.

  • Slide 3:Black and brown baseball cap with LA Dodgers logo on a white background

    SUEDE

    Rich, soft, and style-led. Suede shows up across visors, snapbacks, and outerwear accents, delivering a textured contrast that feels both premium and wearable.

  • Slide 4:Beige teddy bear-shaped cap on a white background

    BORG

    All about softness and comfort. Borg fleece adds a lifestyle touch, especially across our jackets. It’s the detail that rounds out this material-led collection.
