Why is everyone complaining about the price, Don didn't design these hats for average people. It's python not wool.

[@Disinf3ctant]

+Alexander Wang Gang You can get python trinkets in Asian night markets for under $50. Its expensive because of the brand and image, not quality or rarity of materials.

[@Disinf3ctant]

***** You misunderstand, and I'm quite sure that you are completely misguided about where your money is going when you buy into these products. I'm not talking about Chinese copies of anything, I saying raw python skin is not expensive. Here is Australia manual labor is $25 an hour which is way higher than in the US, and it would not take more than an hour to handstitch a hat. At the end of the day very little of your $400 is going to quality or materials, youre paying for the style.

[@Disinf3ctant]

***** You lost the argument when you said some kid can paint something as good as picasso.

[@Disinf3ctant]

***** Oh for fuck sake, this is my last reply. Talking to you actually gives me a headache. I don't know why Im wasting my time replying to some ostentatious fool on youtube about what makes a design icon. You clearly have no knowledge about fashion or art. You like Alexander Wang because you fancy yourself a baller. Grasp that you don't pay millions for a painting because it's "good". You pay because it triggered a change in the norm of the time. And of course he got famous after he died, its because revolutionary changes in culture take longer than a human life time. Not because he was shit when he was alive and got better after he died you blithering idiot. And you can't differentiate them because artists now are inspired by works of the past. And we're only talking about art because YOU likened these hats to the work of Picasso. You said you pay more because it's simply high fashion, like picasso is high art. No Mr. Fuckface. You pay extra for a picasso because of the reasons started above and you pay more for this hat because little bandwagon fuckwits like to be seen wearing the same hat as Kanye west and will pay whatever price the designer chooses to charge.

[@Disinf3ctant]

***** And now you can't speak English properly either. Goodbye

[@allstarbleeder]

Ive been knowing about Don C snapbacks for years now. It was the wave right after Taz Arnold's snapbacks in what 2010? Around 2011

[@Gasrullen]

[@bradym7780]

I love hearing stories about the buck 50s but I always wonder why don never even mentions the brand sports specialties. without sports specialties the don c strap backs wouldn't be a thing

[@marionextdoor2613]

[@harveyparsons7810]

I'm not a vegan or nothing, but I don't agree with using python skin whatsoever. Just wrong.

[@GuyRandom]

Harvey Parsons Why. I bet you're wearing leather shoes at the moment. Hypocrite much?

[@pevi722]

Guy Random from what did you assume he's wearing leather shoes

[@mikeytarango2951]

[@r9ffy711]

[@SequelGrandChase]

[@tywonjames6687]

Hm, he says he revolutionized these hats but then admits they were doing these in the 80s.

[@midnightmonster123]

Every gq comment section is full of anger XD

[@Jinuyash]

1:38 to 1:48 kinda sounds like a rap :D

[@WieslawSobocinskigmai-pl]

The best video*

[@chopp9026]

Dude sounds like a mix between an old black grandad and Cleveland from family guy No hate intended

[@xKiDDiamonDx]

These hats should go back to 2012😂

[@48162342]

This is Tom Haverford reincarnated.

[@kerihon1949]

You can get similar style at lids , I know because I was just there

[@hijoseph100]

They dope of course but they not a buck fifty no more lol more like $450

[@cpbeslidin3611]

Just released in 2022 still 450! Kinda gotta respect it coulda easily went to 650

[@youngmoolahmoolah309]

Appeal to dealer

[@TheViolentTeddy]

So, he only uses a certain part of the snake for his overpriced, ridiculous hats. Seriously, when are people going to stop killing animals purely for fashion. You don't look dope. You are just a dope.

[@r9ffy711]

triggered

[@SweetSoulBrother0]

These hats were trendy like over 7 years ago. I'm shocked that GQ even did a story on these in 2015. It is what it is

[@RH-vd3yu]

so is he black or brown? LOL

[@youngmoolahmoolah309]

? John John store Just dons

[@k0j_]

How to tell if don is fake

[@jermainepeters5702]

nobody wont says black american culture ....smh

[@ueyeehwmvp1634]

He said fake python lol dumb people be getting ripped off

[@VoLCoMzYaDiGG]

If you want style and want to look good. Dont wear Mitchell & Ness strapbacks. The pice is that for an obvious reason. But just because it's got python on it doesnt mean its "stylish" It's trash aesthetically. Flat brims are for fucking bums who wear HUF socks, bred 11s, cargo shorts and an obey t-shirt.
