Tiki Culture Hats

A tiki mug can earn more than shelf space. Smithsonian reports that ceramic tiki mugs are held by the National Museum of American History, giving the collector's museum fantasy a real point of reference. The home lounge has its own organized scene, too: Sac Ohana describes an annual ticketed tour of members' private home tiki bars. Tiki Oasis advertises more than 40 seminars and a marketplace of over 150 vendors, alongside music and art. There is plenty here for the person whose escape involves building a room and filling it with treasured objects. These Tiki Culture hats take that devotion personally. TIKI and TIKI MUG COLLECTOR anchor the collection; TIKI WEIRDO and MAMA NEEDS A MAI TAI bring phrases already offered on shirts by The Black Lagoon Room and Trader Vic's. The original jokes grant a mug its own retrospective, put the collection in the estate plan, redirect the wearer's mail to the bar and demand air clearance for a garnish. Choose the badge that names the obsession or the sentence that takes it to an absurd conclusion. The retrospective and air-clearance designs each come in two colorways, with bold badges and dry serif sentences custom embroidered on dad hats.
