Atlanta Hats

Atlantans define themselves by geography and traffic. The Perimeter is I-285: ITP means you live inside it, OTP means you live in the suburbs outside it, and "I stay ITP, I don't go OTP like that" is a real sentence. Spaghetti Junction, the Tom Moreland Interchange where I-85 meets I-285, got its name in 1986 when a traffic reporter said the ramps looked like an overturned bowl of spaghetti, and rush-hour speeds there are often under 20 mph. The metro counts 71 streets with some variation of Peachtree in the name, per the Atlanta Regional Commission, which makes asking for directions its own hazard. The food is just as local. Lemon pepper wings were invented in Atlanta, and "lemon pepper wet" started at American Deli and went viral through FX's Atlanta before J.R. Crickets put it on its menu in 2017. Hot 'Lanta traces to an Allman Brothers instrumental on At Fillmore East in 1971. Every spring the pollen coats cars and patios yellow, and locals call it a reminder that Atlanta is the city in the forest. These Atlanta hats lean on that shared language. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Wear one for the daily commute, the wings order, or the pollen season you have decided to love anyway.
