How do you market yourself and get your caps and clothes out there?

My marketing strategy is one I'll call hustling.. I'll call it hustling because I'm always out there looking for someone to buy, someone to tell me how they see my designs and all that. Also, I bought every single one of my designs which I wear when ever I'm on the move, which also helps.
