The origin of the hats in the first place weren't for regular folks to begin with. It's a play on a 90's- early 00's brand from the crib called "Buck-Fifty" the hats were always gaudy made Out've different exotic materials and ish. I remember always wanting one as a teen, but they were $150. Only the dope boys could afford that or athletes on the Bulls/Bears.
Don took a play on it, and payed homage, it's been rocking ever since then. It's still a piece Thats not for everyone price point wise and style wise. Still the #1 customers on 80% of his products are dope boys. This whole drop is Chicago inspired tbh. From the materials used on the jacket, to the leather on the crowns, he knew he couldn't just make a regular upper Don, he had to take it back to the late 80's-Early 90's with the leather flickin, to even making people cop the hat/jacket to reserve their 2's, it's a mom and Pop classic.
It ain't trickin if you got it.
