I say 29 2) Can you bend a flat brim BTW, any one wants of these and will not be at the game venmo me the cash a to cover hat and postagea nd i will be more than happy to grab one for you and send 1
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 They should've made the hat in both styles, it is a cool looking hat.
4_kidd_4 Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 You get a free bowl of soup with that hat? 2
Matt_In_NH Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 I love it but also cant do the flat brim thing....just doesnt work for my head.
xsoldier54 Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Thurmal has me blocked on twitter, lol. He didn't like that I disagreed with him on the protest thing.

Shaw66 Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 You can't curve flat brims? Why not? All caps used to come with a flat brim - the first thing you did when you got a new cap as a kid was style the brim with the right amount of curve for the image you wanted. I was thinking about getting one, but not if I have to wear it flat.

All jokes aside I actually think the hat looks really cool. But like many have said the flat rim doesnt work me. 4 minutes ago, Shaw66 said: You can't curve flat brims? Why not?

boyst Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Flat brim is ridiculous, I agree plenz. On about any age. It looks acceptable on a 150 lbs something yr old with the skinny jeans because the skinny jeans are for more of a disaster than the hat. 2

Funny, I was looking at threads about flat vs. curved. There's no reason not bend a flat brim. I find, however, that hat with pre-curved brims fit my head better. That's not going to stop me from picking up a #34. Looks cool, and I need a new cap.
Skins Malone Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) So flat brim aside...what do guys think about the look of hat? I actually really like it. I'm not much of a hat guy but I'd get this one. I'd be cool if they did a whole line of these for older players...kelly... biscuit..whoever. altho then this one wouldnt be special.

MrEpsYtown Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 New Era sells low profile versions of a lot of their hats. This type of cap has a curved brim and makes you look less like the guy from the "pretty fly for a white guy" video. https://www.neweracap.com/All-Headwear/59FIFTY/LOW-PRO-59FIFTY/c/AHEL59
4_kidd_4 Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 I think the design is brutal, and white will be filthy after one tailgate. I’ve been wearing 5950s since I was a kid, you can certainly curve the brim. My issue is that I’ve been wearing glasses since I was 4, so that limits the “bend” for me.
eball Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 @plenzmd1 you can certainly bend the brim. I'll be picking one of those bad boys up Monday night for sure!

They start out flat brim, but the brims are much smaller than the flat brims today.
Formerly Allan in MD Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 What the Bills need is a "rally cap" brim.
Mark80 Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 You can definitely bend flat brims. They aren't made of titanium or anything. I just hate the side 34 patch on it. It's too big and ruins the hat IMO. 13 minutes ago, quinnearlysghost88 said: I have some throwback hats from the 1990s that I bought "new'.

I have taken it upon myself to measure the size of "flat" brims and "curved" brims from New Era within the last year. They are the exact same size regardless of which style you chose. The pre-curved ones just give you a head start on bending it the way you want, that is the only difference.

Your just mad cause you dont look as good in the skinny jeans.... And no, flat brings look dumb on everyone, it's usually the white guy in baggy clothes trying to look like he just stepped out of the hood going to a rap concert that wear the brim flat, usually with the stickers also still on it. From all the hats I ever bought, they all come flat and you just work it yourself to get a curve from either a slight curve to full on arch like the old guy with his 20 year old tattered hat would wear while fixing his cars...... 1
