 Today I'm gonna be showing you guys where I get my fitted hats for cheap. I know right now in the current game, fitted hats are getting very expensive, ranging anywhere from $50 to $150. And we all know we want hats that can match with a bunch of different outfits and go with different times throughout the year and different situations. So we definitely wanna add up on multiple hats and eventually it starts to get spendy. So I had a few pickups this past month and I figured this would be a perfect time to show you guys what hats I recently got and how I got them for a good deal. And if you didn't know by now, my name is DJ and this is The DNA Show. On this channel, I love talking about sneakers but at the same time, we gotta keep the fittets on point. So you know I gotta make sure I help you guys on those tips and tricks as well. So if you haven't already, consider subscribing and joining the fam. We're on the road to a million subscribers and you could be the next one to get us there. So these six hats in particular all came from one website and these three hats right here came from three individual websites. So I'll go through the bulk first and I'll give you the tail end with these. A lot of sleepers on this hand right here as well. So first up, we're gonna start with the hats that we got from Lid. So as you can see right here, this is not a major league hat but I do like the minor league hats as well just because they got a cool design to them. And I feel like it's always cool to switch it up and have something a little bit different that everybody else doesn't have. Now for here, right here, my name is DJ so it only makes sense. I need an everyday hat like that. And then something cool for the fall time right here. And then for my Steelers fan, I wanted to make sure I showed you guys this one. Go Steelers, you know what I'm saying? Hey, let me know what your favorite football team is down below in the comment section. And then the Pittsburgh Pirate Hat, I thought this one was pretty clean as well. So I'll show you guys some more detailed in-hand looks as we go throughout the video. But basically when it comes to these six hats right here, I got these from the Lids website. Now I know a lot of people say that's very common to go to that website, but if you take advantage of the opportunities that they give you on the website, you can actually save a whole lot of money and get some really good hats at the same time. One thing that I know that a lot of people love about hats right now is the side patches that you see right here. So some hats may or may not come with that, but typically when you see a hat with the side patch like this, it's gonna naturally go for a little bit more money, have a little bit more desire, it has a better colorway and a design, and a lot more just overall demand behind the hat. So now when it comes to my average cost on these six hats right here, I spent roughly around $25 to $27 per hat when I totaled it all out based off of the discount. So now you guys are probably wondering, how did I get these $45 and $40 hats for under $30 and be able to use these discounts? So what you need to do is make sure when you sign up for the Lids account, use it online or in person, it's like 10 bucks a year or something like that for a membership. I don't remember if it's like, yeah, I think it's annually, but you pay like 10 bucks, you get the membership, and then they email you a promo code at the beginning of every single month, and you can use that promo code to get a discount on your purchases from their website. So that's always key right there because you get like a 20% discount off of it just immediately by using that. And then if you pay attention to the sales that they have going on the website, or if you look at the top bar, typically they have enter so and so code, and that'll get you a special discount based off of what it is. And then you'll see certain items that may trickle through the cracks, and it might be a cool hat that's predominantly sold out, but they might have just a couple sizes left. And sometimes you might actually get lucky and find that hat in your size as well. And then now you have the opportunity to get it at a discounted price from their natural discount, plus throwing your membership discount on top of that. And now you're looking at sometimes spending just over $20. I've even bought hats off of their website for $18 before and it's been cool hat. So when it comes to Lids, again, they have a lot of promotions going on and if you have the membership at the same time, you can definitely use that to your advantage pretty often to get hats. Now it doesn't really apply every single time. Sometimes you are gonna have to pay that normal price, but if you're always looking for those bargains and looking for those deals and finding affordable ways to get your hat collection up and volume and get nice quality hats and dope colorways and stuff, that's definitely gonna be a good option. As you can see, I picked up six different colorways recently and I'm happy with all the ones that I grabbed. Let me know what you think about these down below in the comment section, which ones are your favorite. I would love to hear what you guys think as well. Again, these are for me for my style, different outfits, different times of the year. I know the fall time's coming so I want a little bit more burgundy. You gotta switch it up, missing some missing pieces with the light blue. I don't have any too many predominantly light blue hats in my collection, so I feel like it was wise to get something like that. But yeah, let me know what you guys think down below. Let's take it to the next hat. My bad, my bad. And before that, like I said, they got a lot of promotions going on, right? So if you go and you purchase something from their website, they're gonna have this inside of there as well with a special discount code 20% off and you purchase over $50 with free shipping. So that's something to pay attention to as well because when you have to add that shipping cost in there, sometimes it's better to add one more hat into that cart to now have free shipping and not have to worry about those things, minimize your cost. Because if you plan on buying hats all the time and you're buying one off, plus you gotta pay for shipping and you do that multiple times throughout the year, well now you're gonna pay additional, you know, a couple hundred bucks just in shipping if you're one off shipping every single time. But if you buy in bulk, now you're gonna save more money cause you're gonna have free shipping. And that's another way to now potentially even grab another hat for your collection if you consider it as potentially free. Yes, you do have to spend the money, but at the same time that would have been money you would have spent on shipping costs if you would have just bought one hat now, one hat later, one hat now, one hat later. So there's a lot of different things and nuances to think about, but at the same time, we wanna find ways to save money and be able to get all the things that we want in the best fashion possible. Now this next hat right here, I did end up purchasing for retail. I got lucky this was on the Lids hat drop right here. Now this one was probably something that made my average cost for all these hats go up a little bit simply because I did get it for retail, but the Pittsburgh Pirate hat, I love this colorway. I think this one is fire. It's very similar to the hat that I have on right now, but I definitely like this hat a lot. Let me know what you guys think down below in the comment section. I got this one from Lids hat drop. Now for them in particular, their stuff sells out really, really fast. So you gotta be selective and you gotta hurry up and get the one that you want because otherwise if you come back a day later, it's probably gonna be gone. Now this is a workaround and a secret that a lot of people don't really pay attention to as much, but an easy way to get a dope hat that you want that just not everybody else has. So for these two in particular, I saw these two teams in the minor league section on the Lids website, but they didn't have them in my size available. So when you see a hat that you may like and it's a minor team like this, look up that minor teams website and go directly to their merch shop and you might be able to find the hat for an even cheaper price than you see it on the Lids website. Sometimes they're even cheaper on there. So for these two in particular, this is the Eugene Emeralds. I'm from Portland, Oregon. I love to represent Oregon. I think this one is super, super clean and it's definitely dope because I know not a lot of people are gonna be wearing the hat at the same time. So it's gonna be cool to have something like this and I was able to get this for a better price on their website and that's always a clutch aspect to it as well. So if you ever see a minor league team, definitely consider that as well. Now this one is gonna be the Hillsboro hops. I know you guys have seen me wear some of their previous ones in the past. I didn't have one like this with the character on the front end holding the bat like that. So I thought this was kind of cool. And though it's a little bit different when it comes to the mixture of the materials and everything, but at the same time, I went on that route. I went directly to their website and I was able to purchase the hat. It came very, very fast when it comes to shipping and everything like that. So I definitely wasn't mad at that either. And I'm telling you right now, these are definitely two valid options when it comes to buying directly from the actual baseball team's website. So always consider that as well when you're shopping for different hats. So that is going to do it. I hope you guys appreciated this and this opens your mind a little bit to find ways to get different coupons and discount codes.
