Thanks Doc!
$49 US for a baseball cap, I guess the licensing fees for using the image are pretty steep.

It's mostly the quality. Ebbet's does heavy wool flannel for jerseys and, I believe, caps. And they don't mass manufacture. It's very much boutique stuff.

Many years ago, the place I used to work at printed up some t-shirts and used the logo, but later got notice not to do it again without licensing the character, so the shirts were a one off.

Re: Hey Sparky...
Does the heavier material make it more of a heat sink under the sun? I have some Ebbet's jerseys and they're top-notch construction, but they're not for summer wear at all.BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑27 Jul 2021, 2:40pmMy wife got me a 1946 Montreal Royals hat (Jackie Robinson's AAA hat). It's expensive but top quality.

Re: Hey Sparky...
That's what I figured, and what's kept me from buying one. Meanwhile, my Sox cap is, I think, 13 years old now, and fully sweat-and-sun bleached grey now instead of navy blue. The Boss wants me to throw it out, but it's so close to voting age that I can't part with it.BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑27 Jul 2021, 2:58pmI don't wear it during the summer.
