Okay, so, I’ve been wanting to get a new hat for a while, you know, something to keep the sun out of my eyes and maybe look a little stylish at the same time. I’d heard about these New Era 9FIFTY snapback hats, and they seemed pretty cool, so I decided to give them a shot.
First, I went online to do a little research. I checked out a bunch of different websites like New Era Cap, Lids, and this place called Hat Heaven. They all had tons of options, so many teams, colors, and designs! I spent a good hour just browsing, trying to figure out what I wanted. It was a little overwhelming, but also kind of fun. I even looked up some tips on how to wear a snapback, because, you know, I didn’t want to look like I didn’t know what I was doing. There are so many ways to wear it like with a t-shirt, a sports jersey, flannel, or a stylish jacket. For a more urban look, I considered wearing a graphic tee and a snapback that has a logo on it.
Choosing the Right One
After looking at a million different hats, I finally narrowed it down to a few that I liked. I decided to go with a classic black one with a simple logo, since it would probably go with most of my clothes. I also read that the 9FIFTY is adjustable, which is great because I wasn’t sure exactly what size I needed. I noticed that the 9FIFTY uses the same structured crown and flat brim that the 59FIFTY uses, but it has an open adjustable back which is a retro style plastic snapback strap. That is exactly what I want.
Ordering and Waiting
Once I made my choice, I added it to my cart and placed the order. It was pretty easy, and I even found a discount code online, which was a nice bonus. Then came the hard part – waiting! I was pretty excited to get my new hat, so I checked the tracking information like every day. The website said there is 24/7 customer service and they were established in 1986, so I thought it must be a reliable website.
Trying It On
Finally, the day arrived! The package showed up, and I ripped it open right away. I took out the hat and tried it on. It fit perfectly! The adjustable strap made it easy to get just the right fit, and it felt really comfortable. I spent some time adjusting the brim, trying to get it just right. It’s flat, which I like, but I know some people like to curve them a little. And I found some information online saying that I could use a blow dryer and spray bottle to shrink my hat into a cozy head-hugger, that is amazing. I think I nailed it, though.
Wearing It Out
I’ve been wearing my new hat everywhere lately. I wore it to the park, to the store, even just hanging out around the house. It’s great for keeping the sun out of my eyes, and I think it looks pretty good, too. I’ve even gotten a few compliments on it, which is always nice. I also tried pairing it with a graphic tee. It turned out great.
Final Thoughts
- Overall, I’m really happy with my New Era 9FIFTY snapback.
- It was a bit of a process to find the right one, but it was worth it in the end.
- It’s comfortable, stylish, and practical.
- What more could you ask for in a hat?
- I might even buy another one in a different color sometime.
So, yeah, that’s my story about getting a new hat. Not exactly a life-changing event, but it’s the little things, right?
