The New Era 59FIFTY: the Official On-Field MLB Cap
The 59FIFTY has been New Era's flagship model since 1954. It is the only cap authorised on Major League Baseball fields — every professional player wears it during games. Its silhouette is instantly recognisable: structured 6-panel crown, high profile, flat brim and button on top. Since the 1990s it has also become a global streetwear icon.
What Is a Fitted Cap?
Unlike snapback (9FIFTY) or strapback (9FORTY) models, the 59FIFTY has no adjustment system. It is manufactured in a fixed size and ordered like a pair of shoes — in your exact size. The result: it wraps perfectly around your skull with no movement or slipping. That is exactly why professional players prefer it on the field.
59FIFTY Sizing Guide: How to Find Your Size
Measure your head circumference in centimetres using a soft tape measure, positioned at forehead level just above your eyebrows. Then use the chart below:
- 54–55 cm → size 6⅞
- 55–56 cm → size 7
- 56–57 cm → size 7⅛
- 57–58 cm → size 7¼
- 58–59 cm → size 7⅜
- 59–60 cm → size 7½
- 60–61 cm → size 7⅝
- 61–62 cm → size 7¾
If you are between two sizes, go up: the 59FIFTY does not stretch or loosen over time.

59FIFTY Authentic Collection vs 59FIFTY League: What's the Difference?
New Era offers two tiers of the 59FIFTY:
- Authentic Collection: the exact model worn on MLB fields. Wool blend, premium finish, top of the range.
- League: more accessible polyester version, same cut and silhouette, ideal for everyday wear and streetwear.
The tier is specified on each product page.
The 59FIFTY and Streetwear: an Icon Since the '90s
The 59FIFTY was adopted by New York hip-hop culture in the early 1990s, most notably through the New York Yankees logo. Since then it has become an essential wardrobe piece, for baseball fans and streetwear enthusiasts alike. It is worn straight, with a flat or slightly curved brim, and pairs just as well with a tracksuit as with a polished urban outfit.

How to Care for Your 59FIFTY
To preserve the shape and embroidery of your 59FIFTY, hand wash only using a damp cloth and mild soap. Never put it in the washing machine: the structured crown and wool will permanently lose their shape. Air dry while keeping the cap in shape.
