Copenhagen-based streetwear label Garment Project has teamed up with fashion brand Ebbets Field Flannels to launch a new apparel capsule that consists of reimagined versions of Ebbet's signature baseball hats.
The new hats closely resemble the style of those caps worn by players in the early years of the Major Baseball League. However, here, they have been reimagined via a wool-based construction. In addition, they come adorned with subtle American sports references. One version of the wool caps features a white base, while the second version comes with a khaki green brim. Both versions also feature a new take on the classic Garment Project logo.
For those interested, the Garment Project x Ebbets Field Flannels capsule is now available to shop on Garment Project's website.
