I also have a Mitchell & Ness hat made in Vietnam and it's 100% authentic. Typically, Vietnam quality is better than products made in China or Bangladesh.
The "authentic" one costs $24, not $200. It doesn't have a collector's value. It's not made in the USA; both are made in sweatshops in Asia. If one guy pays $24 for his Giants hat, and another guy pays 3 or 4 bucks a pop for his Giants hat, and to tell the difference you have to take them off and compare a dozen different points of quality against a snapback expert's reference, then which guy is the chump?
It's ridiculous really, its a cap, something you put on your head. I've had original New Eras since I was a teen and a fake one I got in Thailand. The fake one cost me 4 bucks and I use it as a knockaround, 3 years later it still looks presentable no damages. The notion that all fakes are crap is a myth, still depends on the quality of the fakes and there are really good quality fakes out there. If I see something i like I would get it regardless of fake or authentic. Get one that fits your budget, If you're fit and know how to dress it wouldn't matter.
Just bought a chargers Mitchell & ness SnapBack. It's got all the characteristics of an authentic however on the bottom of the bill it's not green :/ is it considered fake?
My Saints snapback is all perfect. Good stitching, stitichin on the back,square,but my tag says made in Vietnam but it is all stiched perfectly. Is it fake if its from Vietnam?
Just because its made in Vietnam doesn't mean there fake...And with the air holes some Mitchell and ness snapbacks are made of another material causing it to go stringy
Hey, i bought mine from the mitchell and ness website, but mine says made in vietnam.....all the stitchings looks good! so is mine fake...im confuse..0.o
In your opinion do you think new era snapbacks are better or Mitchell and ness? also saw a wallpost on your Facebook page and some guy says that you sell "bomber jackets" , just wondering , is he talking about like a letterman/varsity jacket (with the wool body and the leather sleeves etc) because if you're selling good quality letterman jackets I'd like to know how much you're selling them for, thanks
Loving that Giants Hat! Fake snapbacks have a weird shape to them, the brim is typically very thick , colors are usually off, they fit funny, and the stitching is complete garbage. People are always saying "The stitching doesn't bother me." but once your shit starts falling apart, you want to get mad at the seller lol. Fake Jerseys, sneakers, and snapbacks have horrible stitching and that's a sign it's not going to last after a few wears.
@SouthCalifas619 If you saw their update video, he said that they ARE also made in Vietname, so you have nothing to worry about as long as it has the square bill, stiching of the logo on the inside, and the trademark sign on the bottom of the button.
my mitchell and ness raider snapback is vintage and has white writing on the inside that says nostalgia co. philidelphia, pa mitchell and ness. is it real?
Official Mitchell & Ness snapback hats that are really worth it are usually made in Bangladesh while most fakes are made in China or some fakes are in Vietnam.
one thing he didnt mention is most fake snapbacks may look good at first but because the material is shit within 2 weeks the stitching may start to come loose, the colour may fade but most of all the brim of the hat does not stay straight.
I got a boston celtics snapback and im wondering if its real or not, the word boston has the stitching joined, it has a grey underbrim, its by mitchell and ness, the writing inside it is white, it has a little mnn ingravement in the centre of the cap, the tag doesnt stick out and the words boston celtics and the logo cannot be seen from the inside, so can someone help me and tell me if its real or fake ?
These Fake vs. Real videos are actually helping fakes more closer to the real ones.. your best bet is just to buy it from an authorized dealer.. I went to the flea market ( some guy was selling fakes.. ) and the fakes had almost every detail you encountered gone..
I don't understand. I have a Mitchell and Ness that I just picked up recently. It has EVERYTHING else, including the button with the logo on it, the flawless stitching and you can see the letters on the inside. The only thing that's really off is that it says it's from Vietnam. I picked this up from a store, btw.
Hey i have a qeustion and i hope you can give me a reply :) I bought a toronto raptors cap by mitchell & Ness. I'ts deffo a legit hat i bought it from a legit source and all the stuff you showed here is on my hat aswell but my problem is, the circle sticker ontop/front of the hat that shows its real is really lose since i unboxed my hat. Does this occur more and what should i do with it?
I bought a New York giants snap from zumiez, I checked it while watching this video(was curious) and it said that it was made in Vietnam, does that mean zumiez sold me a fake?
All of my Mitchell & Ness are from Bangladesh. But I got a new snapback in the mail today and it's from Vietnam. I sat down and compared the two and they both was authentic with sewing, tags, stickers, bar codes, air holes, shape of the hat and the shape of the brim. People liked the Vietnam snapback more than the Bangladesh snapback. If that's the case then I have a perfect knockoff snapback cus I would be a fool to throw that shit in the garbage!!!
This dude is a little to harsh on this "Fake" thing. Theres nothin wrong with gettin a replica or knock-off, just as long the seller tells you that it is a knock-off or thats what your looking for
Good video on the education of boot products. If you really want a M&N hat, just buy one from their website or in person at the Philadelphia flagship store.
Yo guys I bought a Pistons script M&N, It has a yellow writing on the inside, it has the MNM logo on the pin inside, it came with a tag on the brim.the button on top is perfectly on the center, i can see the stitching in the inside, but theres no lines on the snap ( 2:06 ). Does that mean its FAKE? Sorry but its my first Mitchell and ness hat, I didn't have the problem with fitted New Eras
You missed another thing, the Brim on the fakes be Rounded. when they should be squared off. Thats why I only buy mitchell and ness for the square brims.
I recently bought 2 Mitchell and ness laker snapbacks from the mitchell and ness website and they were both made in vietnam.
#metoo
HOW ABOUT MADE IN BANGLADESH?
I also have a Mitchell & Ness hat made in Vietnam and it's 100% authentic.
Typically, Vietnam quality is better than products made in China or Bangladesh.
I have an authentic and mine says made in vietnam!

RubiiFreezii Soriano Burrito Power There both fake they don't come from there

Me too, I Bought a Authentic Snapback Raiders Mitchell & Ness and says "made in vietnam" Sorry for bad english, i am from Argentina
yeh, it is. It must m=be that his is just different
The "authentic" one costs $24, not $200. It doesn't have a collector's value. It's not made in the USA; both are made in sweatshops in Asia. If one guy pays $24 for his Giants hat, and another guy pays 3 or 4 bucks a pop for his Giants hat, and to tell the difference you have to take them off and compare a dozen different points of quality against a snapback expert's reference, then which guy is the chump?
the one who pays 24
The chump is the one who bought a fake ass whack product knowing full well it was fake when he bought it.
It's ridiculous really, its a cap, something you put on your head. I've had original New Eras since I was a teen and a fake one I got in Thailand.

honestly if the fake ones didn't have a round brim i would wear them, and a lot of you can say you wouldn't but we all know we would
nope, in fact a lot of companies are starting not to have the color green
5:21 "Be my guest, you're wearing a piece of shit on your head" LOOOL
Damn two of my hats are fake
Just bought a chargers Mitchell & ness SnapBack. It's got all the characteristics of an authentic however on the bottom of the bill it's not green :/ is it considered fake?
I had not idea, fake M&N hats existed. I'm glad I've bought all mine from their site.
I got a Michael & ness patriots blue & red snapback from the store Zumies. Is it fake or no ?
Hey bro thanks for uploading this video. What hat do you have on? its a badass hat, where can i get one like the one you're wearing?
Where did you say you can get the fake mitchell&ness snaps ?
What if everything you said in this video was on a real snapback but it was made in chinad under the mitchell and ness tage
i have a snap back and it met all the requirments that you said.....but its made in vietnam...real or fake
Any tips on starting a company for selling hats?
Auto subs.👍👍👍 Thanks man. Keep posting abaout different authentic vs fake. 🙏
definately added in my favourite videos thanks man
i have a mitchell and ness snapback that has everything to be authentic except it says made in vietnam does that mean its fake?
its in there description but why not just order from the official website of mitchell & Ness ??
My Saints snapback is all perfect. Good stitching, stitichin on the back,square,but my tag says made in Vietnam but it is all stiched perfectly. Is it fake if its from Vietnam?
I have d same snapback but mine has a white mitchell and ness logo at the back is mine fake?
I bought one and it has everything that the real one does but the under brim is grey not green so real or fake?
This video is 11 years old. Has the bootleg improved and caught up with their "craft"?
Just because its made in Vietnam doesn't mean there fake...And with the air holes some Mitchell and ness snapbacks are made of another material causing it to go stringy
I have 4 mitchell and ness snapbacks 2 at fanzz 1 at lids and 1 at zumiez, they are all authentic but all of mine are made in Vietnam, is it fake?
Also looked like the fake one had a rounded brim and the real one was squared off. MN NEVER has round brims, ever
as long as its Clean looking im rocking it ,
just a question, if you can get authentic mitchell and ness why wouldnt you sell them?
what kind of snapback is that the you have on?
Hey, i bought mine from the mitchell and ness website, but mine says made in vietnam.....all the stitchings looks good! so is mine fake...im confuse..0.o
another big thing is that on replicas the sticker ontop of the brim is a reflective sticker and the authentic ones are a solid colour
In your opinion do you think new era snapbacks are better or Mitchell and ness?
also saw a wallpost on your Facebook page and some guy says that you sell "bomber jackets" , just wondering , is he talking about like a letterman/varsity jacket (with the wool body and the leather sleeves etc) because if you're selling good quality letterman jackets I'd like to know how much you're selling them for, thanks
@bostonrep05 hey man, where did you order your authentic snapbacks from? cheers
Loving that Giants Hat!
Fake snapbacks have a weird shape to them, the brim is typically very thick , colors are usually off, they fit funny, and the stitching is complete garbage. People are always saying "The stitching doesn't bother me." but once your shit starts falling apart, you want to get mad at the seller lol. Fake Jerseys, sneakers, and snapbacks have horrible stitching and that's a sign it's not going to last after a few wears.
what is the team you purchased?
@SouthCalifas619 If you saw their update video, he said that they ARE also made in Vietname, so you have nothing to worry about as long as it has the square bill, stiching of the logo on the inside, and the trademark sign on the bottom of the button.
if a mitchell and ness snapback design is a a little messed does that count as a fake?
And ur a Bitch.
Why is there dislikes? Good job for helping out people point out the fakes!
Can’t believe this vid almost 10 years old

mitchell and ness is by far the best snapback and best sporting goods maker out of any company... They are the GUCCI of sports clothing. TRUST ME!
Hey bro thanks, I just realized two of my M&N snapbacks are fake :/. Now I know better!! I'll be buying from yall
my mitchell and ness raider snapback is vintage and has white writing on the inside that says nostalgia co. philidelphia, pa mitchell and ness. is it real?
if theres just a logo on the front should it still show the stitching o the other side? and mines fake cuz it says made in veitnam?
It's bad enough that you get a non vintage snap. But if you get a fake non vintage one, then that's just funny.
how did you get em for less than $16???
And what is your website?
He's just informing us on how the fake ones compare to the real ones!
why did u not just show the MNM button thing at the start.....that wud of made it so much clearer
Can you do one for New Era snapbacks
is a snapback fake if it doesnt have a green under bill.
Official Mitchell & Ness snapback hats that are really worth it are usually made in Bangladesh while most fakes are made in China or some fakes are in Vietnam.
one thing he didnt mention is most fake snapbacks may look good at first but because the material is shit within 2 weeks the stitching may start to come loose, the colour may fade but most of all the brim of the hat does not stay straight.
why didn't u mention the shape of the brim?
I got one from chapel street, not sure which shop sorry but THANK GOD mine is showing all signs of authenticity! Thanks foe clarifying for me :)
Thanks man! Now I know for sure that mine is real.
I got a boston celtics snapback and im wondering if its real or not, the word boston has the stitching joined, it has a grey underbrim, its by mitchell and ness, the writing inside it is white, it has a little mnn ingravement in the centre of the cap, the tag doesnt stick out and the words boston celtics and the logo cannot be seen from the inside, so can someone help me and tell me if its real or fake ?
so basically you would never know if someones hat is fake unless you actually examined it?
my stomache seriously starts hurtin everytime I see a fake hat
so is it a real mitchell and ness snapback?
These Fake vs. Real videos are actually helping fakes more closer to the real ones.. your best bet is just to buy it from an authorized dealer.. I went to the flea market ( some guy was selling fakes.. ) and the fakes had almost every detail you encountered gone..
is an authentic mitchell & ness always green colored on the bottom part of the brim?
Most have green underneath, but some have silver or there team colors. some even have designs on them (the underbrim)

I don't understand. I have a Mitchell and Ness that I just picked up recently. It has EVERYTHING else, including the button with the logo on it, the flawless stitching and you can see the letters on the inside. The only thing that's really off is that it says it's from Vietnam.

OK IM CONFUSED. MINE HAS ALL THE QUALIFICATIONS OF A REAL HAT BUT THE STITCHING CANNOT BE SEEN ON THE INSIDE..
I bought a New York giants snap from zumiez, I checked it while watching this video(was curious) and it said that it was made in Vietnam, does that mean zumiez sold me a fake?
Where can u get a fake mitchell amd mes for like 5 to 10$ ?
perfect video..Soo many fakes at sports stores trying to pass as authentic.
Where do you even buy fake caps?
How much is a Mitchell an ness original cap in the usa???
usually around 20-30 dollars.
So if it says ''Made In Vietnam'' Is It Fake??
what hat are you wearing?
Mine is from the official site and says made in Vietnam...probably have several factories in Asia.
if you get one with some things real and some fake what would it be
All of my Mitchell & Ness are from Bangladesh. But I got a new snapback in the mail today and it's from Vietnam. I sat down and compared the two and they both was authentic with sewing, tags, stickers, bar codes, air holes, shape of the hat and the shape of the brim. People liked the Vietnam snapback more than the Bangladesh snapback. If that's the case then I have a perfect knockoff snapback cus I would be a fool to throw that shit in the garbage!!!
thanks bro now i know how to tell if my snapback is real or fake good video
to me it matters it makes me feel more comfortable and it keeps the swag clean
@GnashtyDreamz naa some hats do have a grey under brim
I have what I think is genuine cap that's made in Vietnam. Everything looks genuine, mine even has Lakers graphic under the brim and a velcro snap.
This dude is a little to harsh on this "Fake" thing. Theres nothin wrong with gettin a replica or knock-off, just as long the seller tells you that it is a knock-off or thats what your looking for
Do one for 47 brand snapback
Good video on the education of boot products. If you really want a M&N hat, just buy one from their website or in person at the Philadelphia flagship store.
Ive got a genuine mitchell and ness snapback, but it doesn't have the mnn on the bead. I dont think they all have it.
They are now being made in Vietnam.
You're right ... Once I found a fake new era cap in a thrift store that said : Made In Vietnam
Some of mine are made in Vietnam but has everything else?? Explain that??
Thanx for the tips bro. I jus brought a fake. My first mitchell and ness. Now i know cheers
Yo guys I bought a Pistons script M&N, It has a yellow writing on the inside, it has the MNM logo on the pin inside, it came with a tag on the brim.the button on top is perfectly on the center, i can see the stitching in the inside, but theres no lines on the snap ( 2:06 ). Does that mean its FAKE? Sorry but its my first Mitchell and ness hat, I didn't have the problem with fitted New Eras
When he says two lines is he talking about two lines of stitching?
Idk if mine is real or fake. My snapback has both characteristics or the real and fake
You missed another thing, the Brim on the fakes be Rounded. when they should be squared off. Thats why I only buy mitchell and ness for the square brims.
does craniumfitteds sell real Mitchell and Ness
the shape of the bill is also a give away, a circular bill is fake, a rectangular one is real
Real or Fake?
