Maryland & Old Bay Hats

Maryland is the most condiment-identified state in the country, and Old Bay is the proof: the seasoning goes on popcorn, fries and even ice cream, and when Old Bay released its own hot sauce it sold out in thirty minutes and started reselling for ten times the price. These hats carry that devotion straight through. MARYLAND and HON, the state's own term of address, anchor the set as basics. NATTY BOH, the local beer that wins on merch even when it loses shelf space to national brands, gets the collection's single arched treatment, a retro beer-label curve. OLD BAY and OLD BAY IS A VITAMIN carry the seasoning's cult status from two angles, a plain badge and a dry joke, which is why it earns a second colorway. MURYLAND plays the state's own pronunciation of its name back at itself, CHARM CITY names Baltimore the way Baltimore names itself, and CRAB FEAST and CRAB CAKES NO FILLER draw the line locals draw about their own seafood: a crab feast is a verb as much as a noun, and a crab cake with filler is not a crab cake. MALLET IN ONE HAND BEER IN THE OTHER is that feast's literal posture. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. OLD BAY, which Marylanders will defend before their sports teams, comes in two colorways, alongside a second take on CRAB CAKES NO FILLER for the side of the state that would rather argue about food.
