The urban clothing scene isn't complete without a collection of fitted hats.  Fitted hats also known as a "fitted" are baseball caps that have no size adjustment.  They fit snuggly on your head and have a much better appearance as there are no straps in the back.  These hats are very popular among the young crowd and in urban fashion.  They come in hundreds of styles and colors.  Many urban outfits aren't considered complete without the wearing of a fitted.

Fitted hats come in various sizes but will still fit snug when you choose the appropriate size for you.  The most popular hats are those displaying the logo of a favorite baseball team.  Many times the team represents more of the location rather than the team itself.  For example, the Boston Red Sox and NY Yankees are popular among those living in those cities.  For those who do not live in the same city, the selected team hat is more a representation of a favorite team or favorite colors.  Fitted hats are made by various manufacturers and one of the top ones is New Era.

You can find fitted hats in almost every shopping mall in America as well as specialized online shops.  While many sporting fans still purchase these hats, they are still most popular for fashion more than anything else.
