What Makes It Uncommon

Base Knit

For the fan with Major League-level team spirit, this handcrafted beanie is knit from 200+ yards of wool yarn from three continuous strands found inside MLB authenticated, game-used baseballs. The hat is lined with alpaca to keep you cozy for extra innings. Hand knit in California by a single craftsman, each hat is gift boxed with a story card and hologram number indicating the exact game the ball was used in. Hit a gift home run with this wearable piece of history—just the ticket for a crisp evening at the ballpark or strolling with your MVPs. Designed by Ward Wallau; made in the USA.

location

California

Disappointed when the MTA filled in the "Y" cutout of their classic subway tokens, Ward Wallau was inspired to find a fun way to incorporate the unaltered tokens into cufflinks. He wanted to prove to the MTA that the original tokens were worthy of celebrating and repurposing and, after 11 years of "no," Ward became the first licensee of the New York City MTA. Since that time, this "authenticity hound," has assembled and grew his team of artisans, production staff, and authenticators in Berkeley, California, where they re-imagine nostalgic artifacts as unique gifts that tell a story. Ward loves breathing new life into things that already exist, be it letterpress blocks, a wooden seat from Wrigley Field, or a bat broken at a Major League baseball game. "This business is ever-challenging, dynamic, and satisfying," he says. "It's not a good day if you don't learn something new!"

Not worth the money

I ordered a Detroit Tigers hat, MLB authentication website says the ball was used in a Washington/Milwaukee game. The bottom hem was already unraveling when I opened the box. Very disappointing, huge waste of money.

Perfect gift for baseball fans

This was the perfect gift for my friend's birthday. She lives in a colder climate so bonus she can stay warm with something that is unique, cute and pays homage to her favorite sport.


It was worth the price

My son wears it all the time and always tells the backstory of where it came from.


I AM IN LOVE TWITH THIS GIFT

My friend I bought this hat for, has his own baseball gym and it's about to get displayed in a frame on the wall for everyone to see what happens with some of the baseballs.


I would buy this product again. Awesome gift idea!

I bought this hat as a gift and I not want to purchase one for myself too. It was well made, is pretty comfortable and warm, and it goes with everything. If you are looking for a unique gift for sports loving fans, I highly recommend this hat.


Gift

The beanie will provide warmth when my son is out in the elements. Will enjoy explaining the history of the cap's yarn.


Amazing!!

Great for everyday use or to wear for game day! Great conversation piece!


I loved this product!

Loved this! Very unique.


Too Cool for School !

Beanie is worn daily on long morning speed walks, in cool weather


My father-in-law loved this gift...

My father-in-law loved this unique gift. He is a die-hard Red Sox fan and lives in MA (frequent cold weather) so the hat will get a lot of use. He really liked the story behind how the hat is made. It was extra special since it was a 70th birthday gift!



Can you make an Oakland A's beanie for the biggest fan in the world?

Verified reply from Jen

Hey there superfan! At this time, Oakland A's option is not available, however we can pass this info over to our team for the future.


So, 8.75", does that fit a 6' man? 5' woman? Medium build? Large build? Child?

Verified reply from Merve

These beanies are for adults and are one size fits all.


How do you get the story on the hat that you purchased?

Verified reply from Michelle

Each hat is gift boxed with a story card and hologram number indicating the exact game the ball was used in.


How does the sizing run on these hats? I see they are all handmade, but some heads are bigger than others. Any info? Thanks.

Verified reply from Valerie

These hats are 8.75" L x 8.75" W.
