About Shoe String King SSK Rasta Knit Tam Hat Dreadlock

100% Cotton Knit Rasta hats by Shoe String King are perfect for keeping long hair or dreadlocks up and out of the face. Stretchable band creates a comfortable and perfect fit for almost any head size. These tall, round, crocheted caps are brightly coloured. This SSK branded product is most commonly associated with the pat as a way for Rastafarians (Rastas) and others with dreadlocks to tuck their locks away. However this fashion accessory can be worn for various reasons by Rastas and non-Rastas alike. Then unique design is sometimes referred to as a "Tam" (or "tam"), since these hats are loosely fitted. Other Caribbean-islander terms for the rastacap include rastafar (sometimes with a silent terminal -r), toppa[h] and simply cap or hat. In construction, the Shoe Sting King rastacap is similar to the tuque, but much larger. This crocheted hat can sported by both men and women with any look and in a number of ways. Our selection of Rastacaps range in size and shape, as well as uses. People with dreadlocks and non-dreaded people alike wear rastacaps for fashion, convenience, socio-political statement, and a number of other reasons. Some Rastas also wear rastacaps and other forms of headdress as a religious headcovering. It may also be worn by health and food service and heavy machinery workers with long hair, for workplace safety reasons. People of Jamaica and Barbados, as well as some outlying islands, have separately claimed to have originated the cap style, claiming ancestral heritage or even personal invention. No matter the origin, this fashion accessory is timeless
