Streetwear imprint BEAMS works in collaboration with headwear label New Era on a series of 'Crazy Caps.' The capsule features hats that are complete with different panels and contrasting color palettes -- the range delivers two colorways in total. The 'crazy' term refers to Japanese slang, referring to the concept that the garments are different from patchwork and the way that the items are made up of a blend of both patterning and print designs rather than stitched together in the form of different fabric textiles.
The Crazy Caps boast paneling accents of cotton canvas that are separated by colors and the Yankees logo. The first colorway highlights black, navy blue, and a series of gray hues, the second is just navy blue and black alternating. Both of the caps are complete with a black brim and the 3D Yankees logo throughout -- the first version showcases multicolor logos and the second is complete with all-white logos.
