Custom Snakeskin Adjustable Hat by Don C

June 7, 2011 | Category: Accessories | Author: John

Kanye West’s road manager Don C laced him with a custom snakeskin adjustable hat that Kanye wore at the after party festivities following the CFDA Fashion Awards. The Mitchell & Ness Chicago Bulls hat features snakeskin on the brim and adjustable strap. If you look closely, there is no “snap back,” but Don C most likely used a standard snapback hat and customized it with a gold buckle and used snakeskin as the adjustable strap. There has been no official word from Don C about the custom hat, but he did post a piece of cut-up snakeskin on his Tumblr several weeks back, and followed up today with a photo of a Milwaukee Bucks hat — also customized with snakeskin. It’s unknown if these will be for sale, but if they do hit shelves, count on it to be sold at Don C’s Chicago retail store RSVP Gallery.

    I’m pretty sure these are inspired by “Buck 50″ hats which are a Chicago staple. People would take generic adjustable hats and add snake or gator skin to the brim and strap, and most of the time add a watch face to the front. It seems Don C just added his own twist on it.

    I see this being picked up by mainstream due to Kanye…just like everything else he does.

    I love the homage to Chicago street fashion though.
