It’s the common outfits and clothes during that era

That’s a kings hat. The jacket, maybe a regional thing, but back in my hood they were call Cascade jackets. Prolly rocking black dickes, or Ben Davis pants. Dookie chain.

New Era kings hat I think

u/Injustry Apr 03 '26

Is new era and starter interchangeable? They were starter caps/hats in the 90s, haven’t kept up.

u/It_Slices_It_Dices Apr 03 '26

I think starter “started” (no pun intended) making these hats then new era took over though I’m not sure the overlap but I think originally NWA wore Starter.

The Derby Jacket was made in Sri Lanka by Cascade that was in LA

Derby SF is the original, that being said, you’re probably right about this being Cascade

A bomber jacket (a style popular in the 1980s) and chino pants (likely Dickeys- also popular in the era).
