FAQs
Is this an adjustable cap?
No, the 59Fifty is a fitted cap and does not come with a snapback or strap adjustment mechanism.
Can I put this cap in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash the 59Fifty, as it can damage the internal structure and cause the visor to lose its shape.
What is the difference between this and other New Era caps?
The 59Fifty is the classic, high-crown fitted version, distinct from the 9Forty (adjustable) or 39Thirty (stretch-fit) profiles.
How do I know my size?
Measure your head circumference in centimeters or inches and refer to a standard New Era size chart for the most accurate fit.
Can I curve the brim?
Yes, many users prefer to gently curve the brim. The visor is constructed to hold a curve once molded, though it arrives flat by design.
Troubleshooting
The cap feels slightly too tight.
Ensure you are not wearing the cap over a thick hairstyle. If it remains tight, you may need to steam the interior headband slightly to allow for minor fabric relaxation.
The crown appears slightly creased.
Lightly steam the affected area and gently reshape the crown with your hands while the fabric is warm and pliable.
Surface lint or dust accumulation.
Use a standard lint roller or a piece of adhesive tape to gently lift debris from the fabric surface without damaging the embroidery.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the 59Fifty is a fitted cap, compatibility is entirely dependent on choosing the correct head size. Always measure the circumference of your head just above the ears to ensure a snug, comfortable fit.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the cap in water to prevent the structure from warping.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid placing heavy items on the crown, as this can crush the structured front panels.
- Maintenance: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust or lint from the fabric surface.
