The New Era Legacy
New Era began as a family business in 1920. Ehrhardt Koch, a German immigrant, founded the company in New York. At first, they focused on Gatsby-style hats. Looking to revitalize the business in the 1930s, Koch’s son Harold noticed baseball’s growing popularity. They reached out to the Cleveland Indians, and in 1934, they partnered to create the first MLB cap. By 1954, the brand revolutionized headwear by introducing the iconic 59FIFTY fitted cap with a structured design and flat brim.
By the 1960s, New Era supplied caps to half of MLB teams, scoring exclusive MLB licensing in 1993. Today, New Era is the official cap provider for MLB, NFL, and NBA. Beyond sports, the brand dominates streetwear culture, collaborating with fashion icons and keeping up with style trends.

How do you clean New Era Hats?
To keep your New Era hat looking fresh, avoid throwing it in the washing machine. This can ruin the shape and fabric. Instead, spot-clean it with a soft cloth, cold water, and mild detergent. Gently scrub any dirty areas, then let it air-dry naturally. For knit hats, handwashing or using a gentle machine cycle is usually safe. Always check the care label before cleaning. Skip hot water or dryers since they can shrink or distort the fabric.
Are New Era hats true to size?
Fitted caps come in exact sizes, so measuring your head is essential. Wrap a soft measuring tape around your head, just above your ears and eyebrows, to find the right fit. If you’re between sizes, size up for a looser fit or down for a snug one. Snapbacks and adjustable caps offer flexible sizing, making them the right move if you’re unsure. Knit hats and beanies are one-size-fits-most, with enough stretch to fit comfortably on most head shapes.
