Hat and Gear Care
Made for dusty miles, dirty hands, and days spent wandering on Kingdom Trails (or wishing you were there).
This limited-run bandana is a collaboration between Kingdom Trails and Ministry of Culture, featuring the same hand-drawn imagery originally created for my Kingdom Trails hat print, reworked into an all-over bandana design.
Bikes, trail tools, familiar trail names, and other little details from days in the Kingdom are scattered throughout, with the Kingdom Trails logo at the center.
Wear it around your neck, tie it to your pack, tuck it in a pocket, or keep it handy for whatever the trail throws at you.

This t-shirt is a soft, creamy off-white with a bold kelly green graphic featuring a crew of quirky, maple-obsessed creemee characters. Front and center: one extremely chill (and slightly melty) maple Ice Screemee mascot, Softee, leading the charge, surrounded by an entourage of fellow swirled icons: Soupy, Melty, Scoops, and Swirl. Underneath, the society motto reads: “We Scream for Maple Cream.” Because… obviously.

Trail Rags - Bike and Hike Bandana
A dirtbag essential for dusty miles and dirty hands.
A good bandana is one of the most useful pieces of gear you can own. It lives in your pocket, around your neck, or tied to your bike/ pack, always ready for sweaty climbs, trailside snacks, unexpected repairs, and all the little jobs you never planned for.
Trail Rags are made to be used. They're sewn from durable 100% cotton, made and printed in the USA, and handprinted with my original bike-inspired artwork using soft, water-based inks that only get better with time.
Wear it often. Wash it when it needs it. Patch it if you have to. Then keep taking it outside.

This hat is made from upcycled surf windbreaker material and SunScreen50™ Lightweight Woven Nylon Taslan Flat Finish Wicking Fabric.
Not only is this fabric quick-drying, but it also provides additional sun protection. This hat is perfect for all your warm-weather activities, such as running, hiking, kayaking, and spending time at the beach.
The hat has an adjustable nylon webbing and flat buckle closure and a black interior sweatband. The brims are made with an industry-standard moldable brim material that is slightly lighter than our regular hat brims.
Making this the lightest-weight hat that we offer. The brim still provides great sun protection and can be easily shaped to your liking.
Sizing:
This is a size large hat that measures 23 1/2 around and can be adjusted to be approximately 1 inch larger/ smaller.
Some fabrics have more stretch than others and can vary slightly in fit. The waxed canvas hats have the least stretch, while the fleece hats tend to have the most. This nylon fabric has little to no stretch and is one of the most breathable, lightweight, and colorfast fabrics we offer for hats.
Feel free to message me with any specific questions, and I’d be happy to help you find the best fit.
All hats are individually sewn and usually made to order in limited quantities.

Things are getting a little melty.
The Ice Screamies bandana is covered in a crew of weird, wonderful, and slightly unhinged frozen treats—dripping cones, scattered sprinkles, melty puddles, and plenty of questionable expressions. The hand-drawn design is finished with a gooey border and the Ministry of Culture Ice Screamies graphic at the center.
Made to be worn, used, and generally made a mess of. Tie it around your neck, wear it on your head, stuff it in a pocket, or keep it handy for sweaty rides, sticky hands, and actual ice cream emergencies.
