A New Era 59FIFTY fitted cap in black, its crown spelling out the brand in Keiichi Tanaami’s psychedelic letter characters, each drawn in glowing neon outline. Size 7 5/8 (60.6 cm, 23.9 in).
The Piece
Keiichi Tanaami (1936–2024) was a founding figure of Japanese pop art: a Tokyo graphic designer who brought psychedelic collage, animation and comic-book colour into fine art from the 1960s, and the first art director of the Japanese edition of Playboy. His imagery of goldfish, pine trees, searchlights and hybrid creatures grew from childhood memories of wartime Tokyo, and his late career brought major museum shows and a run of celebrated fashion collaborations.
For New Era he redrew the letters of the name as living creatures and flowers, each outlined in pink, yellow and blue against the black crown so that the cap reads as a single continuous Tanaami drawing from front to back. The flat-peak 59FIFTY is New Era’s classic fitted shape, and the inside is finished with New Era taping.
Brim 7 cm (2.8 in); head circumference 60.5 cm (23.8 in). Every measurement is taken by hand, with the piece laid flat and the tape read by eye, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1–3 cm (0.5–1 in) for the natural give of fabric, handwork and the human hand.
