Big fan of that Friday Grey hat, might have to pick one of those up when they come out.

Who is the apparel provider for this year?

 

Edit: Nevermind - it is Ralph Lauren / RLX

That's actually mine. Some guy was selling it for $22. Absolute steal. Not sure how I got it.

Also, I agree about the Friday hat. It's my favorite of the bunch. I'll definitely pick. Keep an eye out for that June drop, because if it's anything like 2016, these hats will sell out super fast. Especially the fitted ones.

Where did you hear there releasing in early June? I’ve been searching for release date for months and couldn’t find anything. Thanks in advance!

Can the thing on the back be removed?

I hope they release the real-deal 5950s this time.

[walpy]

Looking forward to a new pullover

[chmcoope]

Always have a thing for grey hats. I hope there are some fitted options.

[j.b.newton]

any releases on the actual apparel? I hope they limit Furyk's input or we are looking at a lot of khaki mixed in with some beige and dark sand....

The traditional fitted flatbill.

 

Last time around, they put out promotional materials including a 5950 (below on left), but it was never available at retail, players only.

They have two different 5950s, a low profile and a traditional high crown. I had a hard enough time finding the white Sunday 5950. Found it at DSG. The New Era Flagship Store at their HQ in Buffalo has never carried them. Frankly, their selection of all hats is disappointing.

[QMany]

It is hard to tell, is that a 5950? I cannot see the sizing (i.e. 7 1/2) and I have never seen a 5950 with that fabric (usually wool or wool-like synthetic).

Its a 5950 Diamond Era in a 7 1/2. Diamond Era is 100% polyester and is most commonly used in the MLB batting practice hats. Its the same fabric used for the Ryder Cup 3930s as well. Although New Era has recently switched to a Prolight fabric for the batting practice and spring training hats. In the picture you posted the hat I have in second from the left. Here's the label that was on the bill...

I think those are called Low Pro 5950.

I got a white 59fifty at a Golf Galaxy by me. It was the only store I saw that had them. And I recently bought a navy LC 59fifty on ebay

[stony81]

Come on New Era, release the damn hats already, it’s June!

[Rrsclyde]

I'm with you on this one; would like to pick up that gray hat!

I've been dying for that since I saw it featured at the merchandise show

[jreid19]

Pro shop at the course I played today had the gray and navy 3930s and the beanie. I picked up the gray because I have the navy from the past 2 Cups

[Always_rough]

So where can you buy these hats at?

[ik ben groot]

Got this on eB*y. There's a guy that has every style, and all below retail price, w/ free shipping. Get them before they're gone.

[JackP35]

Thanks for the heads up! Been waiting on these for a while. Picked up a grey and navy for my Dad and I.

[IsleOfMan]

Will probably pick up the grey 9Fourty adjustable since I always seem to buy the wrong size in fitted if it's not from a B&M.

[Cheesehead42]

I am loving these hats but thanks to a well-endowed cranium, there will not be any in the future for me.

I'd already own this hat if it weren't for the velcro closure. Truly hate that. Great looking front though.

Went to the New Era store at their headquarters yesterday. They had the navy, gray, and white 3930s, a white 9Forty, and the beanie.
