Flawless ShapeUncompromising Comfort
Precision-molded to keep the pristine shape of your New Era 9FIFTY and 59FIFTY caps.*
Engineered for Your Favorite Cap
The patent-pending FORMLOC™ Matrix prevents creases and keeps the flawless profile of your cap whether worn, displayed, or stashed in a pack.
FORMLOC™ Shape Retention Matrix
Traditional caps inevitably crumple and lose their shape. The FORMLOC Matrix is precision-engineered for each silhouette from an ultra-light, custom-formulated polymer that is soft to the touch with a resilient core—flexing across different head sizes to keep your crown pristine on or off your head.
ERGOLOC™ Comfort System
Standard fabric, sweatbands and SnapBacks create friction over time. Our contoured Crown Comfort Band and SnapBack Sleeve work seamlessly together to actively relieve tension and prevent harsh pressure points, delivering a premium fit.

The Ethos
LAYR2 was founded on a singular pursuit: to create the ultimate headwear. We were tired of paying for hats that looked great in a picture online, only to crumple, crease, and degrade the moment they arrived.
We wanted premium headwear that survives the elements without sacrificing design—built to hold its form long after standard caps collapse. So, we built it ourselves.
We spent years prototyping, testing materials and pushing our designs through heavy coastal swells, high-impact trails, and blistering heat. We refused to compromise, obsessing over every detail to deliver unmatched shape retention and a pristine look that performs. Always.
But we know you have classics you'll never give up, and teams you have to represent. That's why we also developed our FORMLOC™ Matrix specifically for your current rotation. Now, you can slip it into your favorite caps, ensuring they keep their shape and always look their best on or off your head. Or step up to LAYR2 Structured Headwear, built from the ground up to be the ultimate headwear.
This is the evolution of headwear. Designed to look flawless on and off your head.
