Parrothead & Margaritaville Hats

Jimmy Buffett's fans have called themselves Parrot Heads since a 1985 concert in Cincinnati, where Timothy B. Schmit gave them the name. They organize: Parrot Heads in Paradise counts about 200 clubs and 20,000 members under the motto "party with a purpose," and their tailgates run all day in coconut bras and grass skirts. When Buffett died on September 1, 2023, at 76, fans toasted him at Margaritaville restaurants and left messages in bottles at a Lake Lanier memorial. His daughter asked them to keep the party going, and these hats do it in the fans' own register: song lines worn as flags. PARROTHEAD names the tribe, and FINS UP is its greeting. IT'S FIVE O'CLOCK SOMEWHERE already sells on Margaritaville tees from eBay to TeePublic. WASTING AWAY AGAIN IN MARGARITAVILLE and IT'S MY OWN DAMN FAULT are for the long afternoon, and SEARCHING FOR MY LOST SHAKER OF SALT is the line Martha Quinn reached for in her tribute to him. CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE and BOAT DRINKS are the menu. CHANGES IN LATITUDES, CHANGES IN ATTITUDES and SOME OF IT'S MAGIC, SOME OF IT'S TRAGIC are for the philosophers, and PERMANENT RESIDENT OF MARGARITAVILLE claims the town for good. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat in beach and ocean colors, and IT'S FIVE O'CLOCK SOMEWHERE and CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE each get a second colorway. A natural gift for the lake house, the tailgate or the next phlocking.
