Palace x Ebbets New York Cubans cap: Black, wool and release details

The Black Palace New York Cubans Authentic Wool Ballcap is part of Palace’s Ebbets collaboration, with a separate Grey version also offered. Palace’s UK product page listed it at £88 when checked on October 9 UTC. The Ebbets launch announcement placed the UK release on August 21, 2026 at 11 a.m. BST. The cap is a specific team-themed garment within that larger collaboration, not a generic Palace cap with an interchangeable description.

What the wool name includes

The specification identifies wool broadcloth with an 85% wool, 15% nylon composition. Embroidery is applied to felt, while the construction includes a green satin underside to the visor, white satin taping and a cotton sweatband. Those details give the design more context than the wool name alone. They also prevent a buyer from mistaking the label for a claim that every component is made of pure wool.

The official Grey cap lists the same fabric composition and construction details, at the same £88 price. The documented difference is the colorway, so there is no stated material advantage to choosing one over the other. For a collector following the New York Cubans design, the useful decision is which exact color treatment belongs in the collection, while preserving the distinction between the two products.

Fit is an adjustment question

Palace describes a crown using haircloth-backed buckram and says adjustable versions use a leather strap with a metal closure. The checked Black offer is labeled One Size. That combination is more informative than treating One Size as a promise that every head shape or preferred fit will be accommodated. No exact adjustment range was supplied in the retrieved listing, so the published construction should not be converted into an invented circumference measurement.

The collaboration gallery also includes coach jackets, hoodies, jerseys and T-shirts under New York Cubans and Sankei Atoms themes. That wider capsule creates a route for following a particular team reference across garment types. It does not make the cap’s broadcloth specification applicable to the shirts or jackets, nor does a matching name bundle those pieces into the cap purchase.

The regional launch was staggered

The UK’s 11 a.m. BST release and Europe’s noon CEST release represent the same moment. US and Canadian online sales began at 11 a.m. EDT, four hours later. Comparing the actual timezones reveals the access difference that the repeated number eleven conceals. Japan’s release was listed for the following day at 11 a.m. JST.

These are historical launch details. At the October check, the UK One Size offer was purchasable, but continuing stock and other markets require their own checks. The collaboration announcement does not disclose a production quantity. Explore Palace clothing.
