ha alright well i know this thread is quite old, but i just came across it, and stoked about the feedback. and to address the 'cheap and gaudy' statement, zephyrs quality easily matches, if not surpasses new era. i personally own over 20 hats from both companies so i can compare them pretty easily. also ask anyone who owns the purple ski or die hat, everyone i have talked to is stoked about the green satin insides. regardless, i appreciate the feedback, +k for everyone!
