Funny Arborist & Tree Climber Hats

The ISA International Tree Climbing Championship draws more than 90 competitors a year. The 2024 final was run in Daffin Park in Savannah, and the 50th is set for St. Louis in 2026. Climbers in that crowd, and the ones who simply rope up for a living, are the people these hats are for. On the ArboristSite forum, tradespeople swap their own sayings: Branch Manager, money does grow on trees, arborists do it off the ground, and the bystander questions they hear most, like whether they are afraid of heights or about to cut the tree down. This collection takes that voice straight from the trade. The badges ARBORIST and TREE CLIMBER cover the search terms, with arborist the US word and tree surgeon the British one. The sentence designs play with the trade's own contradictions: the tree hugger who carries a chainsaw, the tree surgeon with no medical license, the climber who works out on a limb, and FULL METAL ARBORIST, a phrase Arb Fiction already sells as a tee. BRANCH MANAGER is set as an arch, and TREE SURGEON and TREE HUGGER each come in a second colorway. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Wear one up the tree, or give one to the climber who never comes down for lunch.
