Let me introduce myself, my name is Mac and I am the founder and CEO of Strapbacks.

We are a young, energetic, quality and customer-led fashion brand, born out of both frustration and necessity:

Our frustration began after seeing Jay-Z wearing snakeskin snapbacks in his “Otis” music video and during his “Otis” live performance at the VMA’s and not being able to buy them anywhere. So, out of necessity the brand Strapbacks was born—Strapbacks being the strap at the back of our hats; rather than a snap, like on snapbacks.

Here's a quick look at what he have in store:

Cheers,
Mac.

I ain't here to argue, guys. We've had a lot of demand for these and I know there's probably a few people here that are looking for something similar to the snakeskin snapbacks Jay's been wearing.

These aren't Just Don/RSVP Gallery, OR some fake snakeskin New Era crap. These are genuine snakeskin/lambskin leather Strapbacks with New Era/American Needle base hats.

fuck outta here faggot, If I wanted to pay $400 for a shitty looking strapback I'd go to Don C. The quality on these looks fucking awful and to be honest I'd try to make some T-Shirts or something because you're gonna crash and burn selling these shitty caps.

You doubt it? I'll give you 100% of your money back and then an extra 1000% if you buy one and they're fake snakeskin. The fact you can't recognise genuine snakeskin from fake snakeskin speaks for itself. Look at the slight black snakeskin that is flaking off—fake snakeskin doesn't flake like that, it's shiny and flat.

We've re-created a product that was impossible to find for us. That's all.

We've had a lot of requests for the all black Yankees Snakeskin Strapback. We've produced a limited number (ten) and they are now available for pre-order. Some have already been sold. You can find it here.

the only reason to really get mad about these, is that you took Don C's exact idea, and are ALSO selling at a super high price

new era already makes fakesnakeskin snapbacks

We don't sell any of the hats that Just Don sell. We only sell hats we can't get ourselves.

These aren't fake snakeskin, they are all genuine python snakeskin.

What proof do you want? Look at the fake snakeskin, and look at our snakeskin, ours flakes etc. Fake snakeskin doesn't.

300 is a bit pricey. Especially since I've seen countless brands doing snakeskin snaps, could be bootleg. I mean eventually every dude on the blocks gonna have one. Good luck on the this.
