Some supreme wanna be hat company. Janoski prob has shares in it knowing how he rolls. Either way, hat fashion sux and so does quoting the number of panels used to construct them or how the little latch on the back works. Just buy some 2 dollar shop sun stopper with some camo pattern on it and your sorted.

I gotta say I almost spewed in my mouth when I ordered hats for Shiftys and the RRP was $60+. That's $12 a panel!

Well called shutdown. Also, these hats are far more gay than anything you will ever find in a 2 dollar shop.

I don't get it...

What does a five panel typically go for in a skate shop these days?

Not counting all the wanky new era caps, the average hat was about $30 to $40 but increasingly I have seen them go for more than $50 now, especially if you have someone's name on it as well as the brand - one I will not name was almost $70 I think.

Like I do with a lot of things, I found where to get decent quality plain trucker / mesh caps (which worked out less than $10 each including shipping) and bought a few dozen of them which I can sew a patch on or wear blank and feel a whole lot better for it.

That said I still have a lot of branded ones anyway, but sometimes the price of fashion is beyond ridiculous!!!

RE: What is official? How about the first two of these for overpriced, from a quick look at some online shops, this has to take it for absolutely over the top...

Official has been around for sometime now though, guessing since like 08, not sure about their skate program but.
Laugh at cunts chasing Supreme hats for several hundred bucks.
