Two Caps, Two Different Fits
The Hickory Crawdads offer two distinct cap styles: the New Era Home 59Fifty Fitted Cap and the Outdoor Cap Eephus Adjustable Cap. The 59Fifty is a structured, high-crown fitted cap with a flat bill you can curve. The Eephus is a classic adjustable style with a slight pre-curved visor, mesh back, and plastic snap closure. Neither is simply better—they solve different fit and style needs.
This comparison focuses on what the product records confirm about fit, sizing, and construction so you can choose the cap that matches how you plan to wear it.

Which Cap Fits Your Game Day?
Consider how you plan to wear the cap and whether you know your fitted size.
- Choose the 59Fifty if:: You know your fitted size, prefer a structured high-crown look, want the option to curve a flat bill, and like raised embroidery. The record states it is the same hat worn at home games during the season.
- Choose the Eephus if:: You want an adjustable one-size-fits-most cap for everyday wear, prefer a pre-curved visor and mesh back, and like a chain stitch logo with a red visor cord.
What the Records Do Not Confirm
The supplied information does not include care instructions for either cap, so check the label when it arrives. The 59Fifty record does not state whether the performance polyester is moisture-wicking; that claim is not confirmed here. The Eephus record does not specify a size range for 'one size fits most,' so if you are between sizes or prefer a very snug or loose fit, the adjustable closure helps but exact fit is not guaranteed. Both caps are officially licensed products and the Crawdads are a Minor League affiliate of the MLB Texas Rangers.
