October is here, and so is The Pumpkin Patch: twenty-nine jack-o'-lantern faces, each one its own patch, each one ready to go on the front of a hat. If you have been looking for a Halloween hat that is not a costume, this is it: a real trucker cap with a pumpkin face on it that you will wear to the patch, the parade and every porch on the street.
Every face is $30 on a hat. Add a second face for $10 and a third for $10, up to three across the front panel, if you want the whole family. Each one comes on a Richardson 112 trucker cap in five colorways, or on a ponytail cap in Dusty Rose/White. Order by Sunday, October 25 to have it for Halloween.
