Alpine Hat Tee (Light)

Alpine hat, rust feather, Helen Georgia.

Helen has thrown the longest running Oktoberfest in America every year since 1970, and by the second stein everybody in town is wearing the hat. This is that hat, cut down to its essentials: pinched crown, saddle band, one rust feather.

Forest green and rust on warm garment-dyed cotton, so it reads like something you found in a mountain shop rather than something that came off a press. On White, Ivory, and Butter the green holds the weight and the feather is the only thing that raises its voice.

Printed on a Comfort Colors 1717, the heavyweight, garment-dyed tee that beach and mountain-town shops have sold for decades. Soft from the first wear, not the tenth.

For the Festhalle, the parade down Edelweiss Strasse, a cabin weekend in the North Georgia mountains, or the drive home when you're not ready for it to be over.

A note on garment dye

Each shirt is dyed as a finished garment, so color varies slightly from piece to piece. That's the character of the fabric, not a flaw.

Care

Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry low. Do not iron directly on the print. The garment dye keeps softening with every wash.

Unofficial fan design. Not affiliated with the Helen Chamber of Commerce or the Helen Oktoberfest.
