RATING:

never heard of flat fitty til now but it kinda seems like theyre the folks responsible for some of the hella tight fitteds. here’s a snap back they did for anton gunnarson. yellow base, with a dope beer graphic on the underbrim and sa super detailed image on the front. nice.
RATING:

flat fitty seems to do a lot of fitteds for snowboard and skate companies, here are some examples. you can also check out an intro video here >>
RATING:

check out a teaser of what flat fitty has for 2010. i see some goods in there!
RATING:

a small preview of something from akomplice in 2010? maybe. black base, with a grey underbrim and “AK” logo on the front.
RATING:

this cap is part of the ballistic pack from fitted hawaii. the crown is dark green ballistic nylon and features metal eyelets, with purple Aloha stitching. word.
RATING:

this here is the “williams” from zoo york. faded navy blue corduroy base with the zoo york logo on the front in dark navy blue. i dig the simplicity of this fitted.
RATING:

here’s the “heet n greet” from zoo york. maybe its the red but the tonal checkerboard pattern and zoo york logo on the front just seem like a bit much. im not sure what it is but something about this fitted is just funky to me.
RATING:

maybe its just cause i dont have a taste for team fitteds but seriously… WHAT IS THIS?! this is the “biggy flaw MLB insider” fitteds. simply ridiculous but im sure there are folks out there that are all about this. just not me, maybe next time.
