Sneak Peak: New Era Fresh Goods Friday

New Era MLB hat It's November and the start of a new month which can only mean one thing...a new Fresh Goods Friday release is just around the corner.  And while it may be around the corner for most people, we've got a special sneak peak for all of our Lids Blog readers.  Hey, it's nice to know people -- we take care of our VIP Blog customers!

Without further ado...here's your first look at the November Fresh Goods Friday release, the MLB Trapper.  Not only is this the sickest winter look, but it's super warm too.  Whether you're wearing it for style or warmth (or both), this cap is sure to trap some hotties.   Even Jay-Z rocked a similar style in his music video Empire State of Mind (snapshot below).  And, of course, if it's good enough for the guy who "made the Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can," it's good enough for me.

The MLB Trapper is a solid black New Era trapper hat that originated from New Era's EK premium headwear line.  The cap features faux fur on the dogear flaps and on the flip-up front.  The New Era cap has a solid black, raised embroidery team logo on the front panel, MLB logoman on the back, and two metal New Era flags on the left-wear side.  This is a limited edition hat and will only be available at select stores in the following teams: New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves, Chicago White Sox, Philadelphia Phillies, Detroit Tigers, Boston Red Sox, Houston Astros and Los Angeles Dodgers

Scarves and Celebs

Scarves continue to be everywhere.  In fact, there's an entire blurb on celebrities and scarves on whosdatedwho.com which demonstrates not only all the different celebs who are rocking fashion scarves but also the numerous ways to wear them. 

Scarves can be knotted in a number of different ways:

Wrapped around the neck:

Draped around the neck:

Or worn in a bandana fashion:

It really doesn't matter how you wear a scarf just don't be caught in the cold without one.  Check out lids.com for our latest fashion addition...the scarf! 

So Lids Readers, how do you wear your scarves?

Knit hats...fashion or function?

We're beginning to feel some crisp fall air here in Indianapolis.  While I know in just a matter of weeks I'll be wishing for spring, fall is always anxiously awaited.  The break from the humid 90 degree weather is always appreciated and of course I look forward to fall clothes and true "football weather". 

Speaking of football, the roof was open in Lucas Oil Stadium Sunday (Colts 4-0!!!).  Although it was only in the 60s, the sun was blazing and it was hot!  As I was sitting there sweating and the denim of my jeans was burning my legs, I couldn't help but notice the people wearing knits.  I even saw a guy donning a Flap like the hat pictured below: 

Lids Private Label Flap Hat

So my question to you loyal Lids-blog readers is, do you rock a knit hat to keep your dome warm or as a fashion statement?
