HANDCRAFTED HATS FOR THE GRATEFUL CULTURE
Desert Den? Is this some kind of cult?
Desert Den is NOT a cult...yet ;-)
Desert Den is a custom trucker hat maker celebrating the Grateful Dead ecosystem of music, people, places & experiences.
We sell hats in a couple of categories...
Desert Den Bespoke: One of a kind combinations of hats/patches from our curated collection. Many have distressing/additions to create a truly unique vibe.
Desert Den - Brand: Our originals from patch to label. First inaugural release available now, with more to come.
This all started not long ago because the wife and I could never find cool, original trucker hats or Grateful Dead gear honoring the music and culture we love so much. Being a Maker/Tinkerer by nature, I just decided to make them myself.
It helped that I just happened to have a massive collection of music-related embroidered patches (mostly Grateful Dead), a keen understanding of hat styles and fits, and an artistic eye for colors and combinations.
Then everybody wanted one. This escalated quickly.
What a short, strange trip it's been.
