Hit on Cudi. Only one I really wanted from the pack and everything was for resell,
I tried the 'Graduation' Kanye just for fun. 1st got captcha
, then was in a queue for 3 mins. When the queue got to 1-minute it said the hat was sold-out.

So this is what I’ve noticed with Hat Club drops using Apple Pay. If you have multiple hats in your cart while using Apple Pay, if one of them is sold out, it’ll mess up your order and won’t process.
Best bet is to checkout normally instead and pay Apple Pay at the end. This is what I used to do last year and hit on more drops.
On another note, gonna try to use these as trade bait for Blue Jays Lavender Fields.

Another patch less set of pickups.
I tend to try and go for the authentic stylings but these Sox customs have been stellar. I’ve always wanted an all navy Disney angels. The one from topperz had a patch and red under. I went with the grey under patchless version.
Angels is Chinese poly
Both sox are Bangladesh wool.
Small comparison between the ones I own . 2000 original bottom left. Lids retro classic top, and the latest pickup bottom right.
The retro classic is the obvious elephant in the room. It uses dark navy blue and has a smaller flatter logo.
And yet the new angels cap logo is maybe too raised But does use the correct lighter blue.

It’s from Walmart but had i known about this one that’s dark gray i woulda got this instead:
SONGMICS 10-Tier Shoe Rack, 34.6 x 11 x 63 Inches, Holds up to 50 Pairs, Storage Organizer with Dustproof Cover Gray
Amazon product ASIN B00S0Q1COO
This is the one i got
Mainstays 10 Shelf Organizer Shoe Rack with Cover, White
https://www.walmart.com/ip/447982198
Thanks again for the suggestion. Order the SONGMICS literally the day after, it came last week but I’ve been so busy I didn’t get to set it up until yesterday.
It’s great. Can’t believe it fit so many hats I had in extra new era boxes, bags etc. Only “bad” things are having to bend down every time to unzip the shelf cover, and it doesn’t zip right to the top so the top shelf you have to squeeze hats in/out.

I love comparing eras of caps including retro reproductions.
Stickler alert.
Clockwise from top
2006 original MUSA wool
2012-15 era original MUSA poly
Recent Chinese poly pickup from snipes
Recent Bangladesh poly pickup from snipes
The two recent retros are vividly more school bus yellow than the originals. It’s close.

Bang retro/Chinese retro
You should find even your hat club retros may have switched their Chinese sweatband material/construction. It’s sort of a floppy thin material with an extra set of stitches.
Some of the Chinese caps appear to be less boxy. The Chinese on the right appears almost low crown here. Quality control is all over the place.
You can revert back to the first photo too.
Stitch spacing and hole size varies between all of the caps.
Above, the Bangladesh on the left appears more like the originals with more pronounced stitching. The Chinese version on the right is thinly stitched.
The original and usa poly have the most pronounced stitching along with wider spacing between sets of stitches. Both overseas renditions seem to space the threads too close together.
06 original vs Bangladesh retro.
The Bangladesh retro has a thicker sturdier sweatband. I’m finding most new Chinese made caps go with the floppy yet softer material. I’m indifferent as I haven’t worn the new style enough. It feels softer but durability is a concern.
Like I said, stickler alert. It’s good to know or see where new era is changing or doing right.
