Numbered drops

The mark. The number. The record.

Embroidered in St. Louis. On numbered drops, each piece has its own number and Registry record.

THE BUILD

Five parts of the build.

  1. 01

    The Blank

    Construction varies by hat. Missouri Essentials uses woven mesh sides and back, a curved brim and no rope. Texas and the other athletic hats use laser-perforated panels.

    The Stitch

    The design is embroidered, not printed. On the Missouri hats, the front mark and original FS side badge are gold. Other runs use their own marks and thread colors.

    The Number

    On a numbered drop, every hat carries its own number on the rear panel, one of fifty. We do not choose which one you get, and we never stitch the same number twice. When the run closes, that is the end of it. No second run.

  4. 04

    The Record

    Every numbered hat has a Registry record: its run, piece number and ownership details.

    The Second Stitch

    A closed run stays closed. We do not restock and we do not reprint. If a design earns its way back, it returns as a Second Stitch: a new numbered run, six months on at the earliest, with its own numbers and its own page. Your number stays yours, and it stays the only one.
