Recon and New Era just released the “I miss the old New York” collaboration hat. Unfortunately, it was sold out at Digital Gravel before I got around to post this up.

Features the classic “I miss the old New York” old english 3-D embroidery on the front, New Era flag logo embroidery on the side, and a really sick NYC skyline graphic embroidered across the back.
