Patent-Pending HYBRID Soft-Fit hat launched along with 6 New Back Nine hats and 4 New Blank Headwear Stylesfor Dodge
WOBURN, Mass. – January 18, 2007 – Back Nine USA, an emerging designer and manufacturer of golf headwear, apparel and accessories, announced today that they will introduce their new headwear line up at the 2007 PGA Merchandise Show. In addition to their patent-pending HYBRID Soft-Fitâ?¢ hat, the new headwear line includes six new Back Nine hats as well as four new blank headwear styles.
The patent-pending HYBRID Soft-Fit hat, like the rest of Back Nine USA’s product line, combines the ingenuity of modern materials with classic designs. The difference with the HYBRID Soft-Fit hat lies in the patent-pending combination of stretchable and non-stretch cotton panels that give the hat a washed, unstructured look yet still has a fitted back closure.
"There is really nothing like the HYBRID Soft-Fit in the marketplace right now" stated Andy Hydorn, president and co-founder of Back Nine USA. "With stretch and non-stretch cotton panels and a stretch sweatband in a fitted shape, we’ve created a hat that fits snuggly but is still comfortable to wear."
Back Nine USA will also introduce their new up-and-coming Back Nine headwear line. The eye-catching designs usually garner a second look for their great style and the enigmatic Back Nine logo – a simple backward number nine with accents typifies Back Nine’s approach to headwear and life.
"Eat. Sleep. Golf." continued Mr. Hydorn, "That’s our philosophy because we’re just as passionate about our headwear as we are about our game. Back Nine hats are for golfers who really love and respect the game of golf. It’s about that moment that you start on the back nine just as the sun is setting and you still putt out every hole. It’s about the moments on the golf course you just can’t duplicate anywhere else."
Rounding out the headwear line up are the new blank styles for Back Nine’s growing custom logo and custom design work. The new styles include the Hybrid Soft-Fit, a Contrast Stitch, a Winter Fleece and the Cool Mesh hat to bring Back Nine’s blank hat offering to 10 styles and 40 color options. Currently, Back Nine provides custom logo headwear for national and local restaurants and non-profits while their custom design business includes major golf manufacturers and national beverage companies.
"Some people think a hat is just a hat; we don’t. Fit comes first at Back Nine because no matter what’s embroidered on the hat, if it doesn’t fit, it isn’t worn. Every Back Nine hat is made to our specifications from the circumference and profile to the choice of quality fabrics to the finishing touch of embroidery techniques. Basically, we don’t make souvenirs, we make hats people actually wear" said Mr. Hydorn.
Back Nine USA’s entire product line of golf headwear, apparel and accessories will be on display at the 2007 PGA Merchandise Show within the New Company Discovery Zone section in booth 4288 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida from January 25-27, 2007.
