Working with the Grateful Dead allowed The Ampal Creative to explore the deeper connection between music and the open road. By utilizing period-correct materials like 14-wale corduroy and cotton herringbone, they've created a piece that transcends standard merchandise. This hat is a physical embodiment of the Southwest and Pacific Northwest explorations that inspired the collection.
Design & Heritage
The "Roses" design is one of the most enduring symbols of the Dead's legacy. Ampal has redrawn and embroidered this motif in a way that feels authentic to the band's peak touring years. The unstructured fit removes the stiffness of modern caps, allowing the navy corduroy to mold to your head and develop a personal character. It's "Made like they used to," because some things are too classic to change.
Styling Tip: The navy corduroy provides a premium, heritage texture that pairs perfectly with raw denim or an olive fatigue jacket. Being completely crushable, it's the ideal companion for your next extended trip-just toss it in your bag and go. Accompany your trip with a piece of rock history.
