Where to Buy Cheap New Era Hats

By Jesse Guyer , last updated August 6, 2011

If you are in the market for a fresh New Era you might be wondering to find a cheap, yet quality hat. Centered in upstate New York, New Era has been associated with quality for decades. New Era hats are worn by celebrities and athletes a like, so you will be in good company once you start sporting one. With a little know how, you'll be rocking a stylish new lid and a smile knowing you have a frugal brain under that cap.

New Era is the official hat of Major League Baseball. Their 59FiFTY model has been shielding the eyes of outfielders looking for fly balls since 1934. Recently this professional line has changed its composition. Originally manufactured from 100% wool, New Era has created a hybrid blend of acrylic and wool that allows the head to breathe and wick away moisture in heat. There is also a head band at the base of the cap to help prevent moisture build up. The average price of a fresh New Era is $34.99. Including shipping from the website, your hat will ring in at around $40 depending on your state's sales tax.

Now to New Era's credit, they do offer promotional codes, but even a 15% off coupon, only cancels out the 5$ shipping. Now before shopping for a cheap New Era, be forewarned, there are ample knock offs, Chinese manufactured, and downright frauds out there. With that in mind, here are a few of places to find a cheap New Era.

HatMVP.com claims to sell wholesale New Era hats for a whopping $9.90. They have a flat shipping rate of $15, but if you order 2-3 hats, you'll certainly get your money's worth. They also have quite a selection, and offer a picture of the hats they sell with the telltale "New Era Sticker" that comes affixed to the real deal. The designs are very similar to New Era, and the site is hosted in the United States (not China) so no fear there. The curious part is looking for a website review, or any customer interaction. The price is right, but remember, if it's too good to be true, it probably is.

New Era's worn in the Major league are all fitted caps, but if you are willing to venture into the world of the adjustable snapback, you can save some cash at Ecapcity. A typical Yankees hat goes for 26 dollars, and their website isn't afraid of testimonials.

If you still don't want to order from New Era's site, check your local mall for a Lids. They sell fan apparel and accessories of every type on their website, but the ability to go to the store, try it on, and walk away with it the same day is a luxury online shopping cannot compete with. Lids offers a frequent buyer program that saves 20% each time you buy a hat, for 5$ a year.

Cheap is great, but New Era has been made the choice of the professionals for a reason, there simply is no substitute for their quality, so make sure you are getting a legit product.
