 The Guinness world record for the largest straw hat measures 6.65 m (21 ft 9 in) in diameter and is 2.6 m (8 ft 6 in) high. The hat was made by Atalia Bis & Partners Company in Kozieglowy, Poland.

  Guinness World Records also recognized the largest Santa hat; it measures 15.47 metres (50 ft 9 in) long and 8.23 metres (27 ft) wide and was created by children from the Chill Youth Club (all Norway).

  Promoting the brand's Fly Your Own Flag campaign, the mosaic encourages consumers to make a statement with their New Era products.

  The Guinness World Records adjudicator had the arduous task of individually counting each of the mosaic's hats in order to determine the World Record set.  

  New Era Cap Company Inc.™, the largest and fastest growing headwear manufacturer in the United States, has an 88-year-old tradition of creating quality products that transcend time, culture, sport and fashion.

   Although New Era® is rooted in sports heritage as the official on-field cap of Major League Baseball, they have evolved into a brand that can be seen on the runways of Paris during Fashion Week and in hundreds of music videos on MTV.

  New Era is seen as an iconic brand that celebrities, entertainers, musicians and athletes are seen wearing today.
