This one is currently on the BAS. Do y'all remember the season that it is from?
In case it is not a rhetorical question, this is Dark Loden w/Black & Gamma Blue from the HOliday '13 collection (the first of the two).

Always a pleasure!
A joint effort with another Rafa hat lover @caltennisfn. This is a work in progress. Currently, it catalogs 147 caps while we counted there are at least 245 to date.

Looks a little pale to be royal blue. Hopefully they drop on the 20th with the next season line.
It appears you are right, @innoVAShaun. Brittany (@TW Staff) has just confirmed it is Royal Pulse (see: https://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/index.php?threads/ho24-nike-rafa-hats.775422/post-18390314)
I took Royal Blue (#494) from https://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/ind...e-nike-color-codes-thread.362642/post-5294252. I knew it was a long shot but best guess I got.

TIL my best fitting hats (my rafa hats from 10 years ago) are worth money.

What hats do you have? Got a pic?

Couple of lime green ones with the small logo in bottom corner (from 2013?) And then blue ones with logo in the middle, similar to current ones.

Let me see:
- Bought a new one from a Czech shop in Nov '16
- Got a used one in Aug '20 (which, sadly, I left somewhere behind)
- Hunted another used one in Aug '23 (which found its way to another Rafan)
- @caltennisfn got a new one via the big auction site in Oct '23
Look out for the following 2 things when purchasing a used Summer 12's Scarlet Fire w/Black & Anthracite [398224-606]:
- Make sure you are buying this hat and not Summer 12's Sunburst w/Black & Cargo Khaki [398224-603]. Once you hold both in hand, their hues are markedly different but if you chance on a listing with poor picture quality you might not get what you want. If in doubt, ask the seller for a picture of the underbill with the binding in the frame. If the binding is distinctly lighter (i.e. Anthracite) from the Black underbill, this is the hat you want.
- I don't know why but the SU12 hats with Anthracite logos tend to have color degradation. As a result, they look more dirty gold than light black (i.e. Anthracite). I guess from scraping the logos too much.
Finally, I will keep you in mind in case I come across it again. I will give you a heads-up if I do.
