Vintage 1997 Neon Genesis Evangelion Death and Rebirth Snapback Cap Hat Gainax

Official merchandise produced for the 1997 theatrical release of Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death and Rebirth. Licensed by Gainax and manufactured by Movic. Tag reads ©1997 GAINAX/EVA製作委員会, item number 0397G. Includes the original Gainax holographic authentication tag. Size M.

Black structured snapback with flat brim. Front features the film’s iconic mirrored/inverted title treatment embroidered in red, the same disorienting typography used in the film’s own promotional materials. The design isn’t decoration referencing the source material; it is the source material, rendered in thread.

This is a 28-year-old piece of licensed anime history from one of the most culturally significant productions in the medium. Official Gainax goods from this era with authentication intact don’t surface often.

Condition

• Pre-owned, unworn, age-appropriate wear
• One small loose thread visible at the brim seam
• Sweatband and snapback closure intact
• No major staining or structural damage noted

Questions welcome. @thriftgoblin.
