Haute Couture Monochrome Caps

The 40 oz NYC Uses Balmain and Givenchy as its Muse

— December 4, 2012 — Fashion
The 40 oz NYC caps are becoming a highly coveted item among many snapback-savvy celebrities. The reason being that these hats use Gievnchy and Balmain as a muse for its designs. The two all black caps sport an iconic “NY” and three stars embroidered on the front, above the brim -- the NY snapback is designed in the same font face that is associated with Balmain.

The ‘Black on Black’ 40 oz NYC snapbacks are not all monochrome, they are grass green underneath the beaks. What the baller status hats lack in color, it makes up for in craftsmanship. The stitching is well done, aligning the desired images in an attractive way. Using the embossing of the fabric to capture people’s attention rather than splashes of color.
