The anime series JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean has inspired a new line of hats from NEW ERA! These six caps are available to preorder now on the Premium Bandai website.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean is the fifth season of the anime series. The first twelve episodes are available on Netflix now, while the second half will premiere in late 2022.

The 9FIFTY model is similar to the 59FIFTY with an adjustable head strap. Fans of the series can enjoy repping their favorite character through one of New Era’s basic snapback caps. JOTARO PURPLE was inspired by Jotaro with a snake pattern on the underside of the brim and a deep purple color. The STONE OCEAN LOGO BLACK cap features an embroidered Stone Ocean logo.

Fans can also get hats based on Jolyne Cujoh, the main protagonist of Stone Ocean. Framed for a DUI murder, she was sent to Green Dolphin Street Prison–a motif that appears on her cap. With a crown depth based on the 9FORTY, the JOLYNE GREEN cap features a somewhat feminine butterfly motif. 

The 9FORTY model features a curved visor with a unique inner core preventing it from losing its shape.
