Afghans Bought the Palms Cap – Wendy Hubert

Based on an original artwork by Wendy Hubert called Afghans Bought the Palms.

“We have our native Millstream Palm Trees, but the Afgans, they brought the date palms you see, just to make things look more like what they were used to. But those palms aren’t from here, and they took over.” – Wendy Hubert

Details and care instructions: One size fits most, adjustable with slide strap (once fit is right, slip the strap back through the clip to secure it). 100% polyester, quick dry, shower proof. Cold hand wash only.

Due to the nature of the manufacturing and placement of the artwork on the fabric, each hat is individual and different from the next.
