I’ve been called a man who wears a lot of hats literally and figuratively.

If you pay attention to the Blog, then you know recently I cut off all my hair ( see: Funeral Of The Fro Video) and the lack of hair means that most of my fitted baseball caps don’t fit anymore.

I’ve been called the New Era King of ATL by many due to the amount as well as variety of harder to find fitted hats I posses. Well… Looks like it’s time for a new era as well as some new hats to wear for me.

I recently took a trip to the brick yard (Walk Softly & Carry A Big Brick) and snapped pictures of some of the fitteds I have that I am currently selling. About 95% of these joints are size 7 5/8, while some are 7 1/2 or 7 3/4. Take a look for yourself if your interested in any of these hats, let me know in the comments section or hit me up via e-mail thekaoseffect@gmail.com

These hats aren’t just wool with logos too me, many of them tell a story, some I’ve purchased on the road, some have been giving too me by companies, some I haven’t even had the chance to wear yet.

Also to all my hat connects over the years, if you catch this, Kaos needs some new hats, holla at the kid. Thanks.

365 Black Fact: Greenwood is a neighborhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As one of the most successful and wealthiest African American communities in the United States during the early 20th Century, it was popularly known as America’s “Black Wall Street” until the Tulsa Race Riot of 1921. The riot was one of the most devastating race riots in history and it destroyed the once thriving Greenwood community. (Source)

Ok, ok I know I’m late by a couple days for Black History Month but I just caught wind of these fitteds from the NEW ERA Flagship store the other day. These joints are stupid dope fresh! Takes me back to the days when it was cool to read and rock your leather African medallion.

The first cap features a metallic embroidered (raised) Nefertiti at front & the second fitted features a metallic embroidered (raised) African continent design.

Don’t front, go get yours. Holla at my man FONZ @ New Era Flagship 117 Luckie St. Tell him The GORilla sent you.

Check out how I’ma match it up after the jump…

When it’s comes to kicks and fitteds, not too many around these parts wanna ramp with me! Lol.

I had this fitted on Sunday. While it’s not THAT exclusive, and fairly easy to find, I was amazed at how many people commented on it, and asked where I got it from.

This is an Atlanta Hawks x Dominique Wilkins – Human Highlight Film Fitted.

The New Era King strikes again. LOL

The homie Zone 3 snapped this picture.
