What is a 9Forty cap?

New Era is well-known for offering a wide range of different types of stylish baseball caps. If you want a classic baseball cap alternative to the popular 59Fifty and 9Fifty caps with a flat brim, the 9Forty is the perfect choice. In terms of style, it goes "back to the basics" with fresh and trendy designs.

Definition: 9Forty cap

The front and the general appearance are always the same with 9Forty caps: The front part is reinforced with buckram, the peak is curved and the back has an adjustable closure. So at first glance, the 9Forty is a fairly classic curved brim baseball cap. However, some differences are possible between the various 9Forty models when it comes to the closure at the back. The most common is a strapback fastener with metal buckle. 9Fortys are also available with snapback or hook-and-loop fastener. By the way, we highly recommend a 9Forty with an airy mesh panel for the warm summer as a trucker cap.

9Forty vs. 39Thirty vs. 9Twenty

Specifically, the difference to the 39Thirty is that the 9Forty is not a closed stretch fit cap, but is size-adjustable via its closure. The difference to the 9Twenty is that the 9Twenty cap has an unstructured front and is always manufactured as a strapback. For further questions on model delineation, we recommend our New Era page.

Popular 9Forty designs

As with every good cap from New Era, the team logo significantly shapes the design. In addition to the sometimes iconic logos of the sports teams, 9Fortys are often worn in more striking colours and patterns. Popular colours include green, blue, red or camouflage.

A 9Forty can be combined in many ways due to its classic baseball cap look. For men and women – wear with any sporty outfit such as a T-shirt, shirt or blouse.

The right 9Forty size

Since a 9Forty is always adjustable, finding the right size is usually not a problem. For a snug fit, however, we recommended that you determine your own head size and compare it to the size chart from New Era below. We have provided step-by-step instructions for determining your own cap size with an explanatory video in our help centre.

If the determined size fits within the specified size range of the respective 9Forty cap, it can be adjusted to fit your head. It is best to adjust and wear the cap so that the 9Forty fits tightly about 1 cm above the ears without pinching.
