The apparel shop STRICT-G has added collaboration caps between Mobile Suit Gundam UC and the global sports lifestyle brand NEW ERA. Two designs are available, each featuring the emblem of a faction from the series: Anaheim Electronics and the Vist Foundation. The caps are based on the NEW ERA 9FORTY A-Frame trucker style, which has a one-panel front, a pinched top, and a breathable mesh back. Each cap is priced at 5,280 yen including tax. Reservations opened at 13:00 on August 6, 2026, at the STRICT-G Online Store within Premium Bandai, and will run until August 16, 2026. The caps are scheduled to ship in September 2026. A general release at STRICT-G stores is planned for September 5, 2026. The caps are part of STRICT-G's ongoing line of collaborations with Japanese and global brands, which began with the opening of its first stores in April 2012.
The caps are planned by Bandai, with the front and visor made of 100% cotton and the mesh back in 100% polyester. The embroidery thread is also polyester. The adjustable strap and curved visor are part of the 9FORTY A-Frame design, which the source pieces describe as a classic silhouette that resists losing its shape. The size range is approximately 56.8 cm to 60.6 cm.
Reservations run from 13:00 on August 6 until 23:00 on August 16, 2026, per the Inside piece, which gives a later cutoff than the Dengeki Hobby Web listing of the same date. Sales may end early once the prepared quantity is reached, and the product pages note that photos show items under development that may differ from the final product. The general release on September 5, 2026, covers four domestic STRICT-G stores: Tokyo Odaiba, Tokyo Solamachi, NEOPASA Shizuoka (downline), and Taga SA (downline). The caps may also be sold outside Japan.
