Our new retro Fresh Prince Snapback hats are steeped in history. To make them, we raided vintage vaults worldwide to unearth real 90s hats with the most iconic patterns we could find. Having taken notes on the colorways we then dissected a bunch of hats to study their fit, dimensions and bill types.
Fully loaded with all this info we set about to make the perfect 90s party hat ️
The final product is a fresh prince snapback that’s faithfully vintage. The shape is perfectly 90s with its retro 5 panel construction and flat peak. And the nostalgic pattern is screen printed onto thickened cotton using vibrant inks that pop.
A Little Background
The Fresh Prince snapback hat is an iconic piece of 1990s fashion, famously associated with the character Will Smith played in the television show “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” The show was a significant cultural touchstone. The costume choices made by Will Smith’s character were pivotal in shaping the fashion landscape of the era, and the snapback hat became a symbol of this influence.
After “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” ended in ’96, the popularity of snapback hats waned, with other styles of caps, like fitted hats and truckers, becoming more prominent. However, the influence of the Fresh Prince snapback never completely fell off.
The Fresh Prince snapback is now seen as a timeless accessory that continues to influence streetwear and fashion. Its also the go-to party hat️️…
