yo How do you guys clean your new era fitteds? I got this boston sox one that my friend keeps wearin and skatin in. its all stained with sweat n stuff. very gross. I asked some people and they said not to straight up put in the washing machine cause the brim would get fucked up. I tried using a toothbrush and bleach for the white parts but no luck. anyone know any good ways?

they are slim jims yeah, I wanted to go 2 sizes down but the smallest they had in SJ’s were a 30 so I went with that. I’m kind of glad I only went 1 size down, because the thighs are still kind of tight like when I have my treo in my pocket, etc.

maybe i’ll take an extra pic of how they hit my shoes for a better angle.

can’t really do anything to clean eras, if it’s stained/dirty, your only choice is to buy a new one. or just don’t let your friends rock them?

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR NEW ERA CAP

Key things to remember…

If you make the cap wet, it will take on shape as it dries! If you don’t provide the shape, it will shrink to its own smaller shape. If you want it to fit your head, dry it on your head. If you want it to be shaped like a coffee mug, dry it in a mug. If you use rubber bands and you make the rubber bands too tight, you will see rubber band marks

Cleaning a 59FIFTY…never wash the cap!

The cap is made of wool and you will ruin its shape. To clean the headband, take a wet washcloth and put a little detergent and a little Spray and Wash and gently rub down the headband with the wet wash cloth. After you have sufficiently cleaned the headband of sweat stains and soil, rinse the wash cloth out with clear water and once again wash down the headband, cleaning up any left soap. Let dry and your cap will be ready to go again. Some sweat stains stay in but at least the cap will be clean.

Dusty caps?

Things like a little cat hair or lint, just take some masking tape (I like the 2 inch size) and wrap some of it around your fingers so the sticky side is exposed and dab the hat with the tape. The tape will pick up all the lint and anything else on the cap.

Just a little big?

Take a spray bottle of water and spray the headband with the water, then let dry in the sun on top of an empty coffee can. Or, just let it dry without being elevated by the can. You can also dry it with a good portable hair dryer.

Drying

DO NOT put them in the dryer!

Too tight?

What happens is the sweatband does its job and collects any moisture when you are wearing the cap. Without a head to hold its shape and size, it will shrink as it dries. For starters, grab your cap from the rear of the cap, place it over your knee and give a good hard yank. You will hear some popping noises. That’s O.K. Stop pulling after you hear a couple of these noises. If you pull too hard and too long, you could rip a seam. We DON’T want that!! What you are actually doing is breaking the sizing, which is a stiff plastic strap that we sew into the cap for shape and size maintenance.

Also they have this plastic thing you can buy to keep your cap in shape and you can toss it in the dishwasher for washing.

I have a hard time believing those are Thin Finns… bravo. What size are they?

sainthuey · June 23, 2008, 7:52am

he probably sized up like 3 or 4 sizes.

and if they really are thin finn’s why would you wear them so baggy, if you want jeans that fit like that buy a different model or brand…

The_Epidemic · June 23, 2008, 7:53am
