Description
What is this hat?
A camper hat made for Black Hills Parks and Forests Association on a Good Land Supply Co blank. The front is two panels, tan on top and dark brown below, and the bill is flat and green. Caramel mesh runs from just behind the front panels around both sides and the back, so it breathes on a warm day. A dark brown button sits at the crown, and it closes with a gold plastic snapback strap.
What is on it
Embroidered in cream thread on the brown front panel: JEWEL CAVE arcs across the top with NATIONAL MONUMENT curving underneath it, a bat with its wings spread sits in the center, EST. and 1908 split to either side of the bat, and SOUTH DAKOTA runs across the bottom. The bat is a nod to the bats that hibernate in the cave, and 1908 is the year Jewel Cave became a national monument.

Frequently asked questions
What is embroidered on it? Jewel Cave National Monument arcing over a bat, with EST. 1908 to either side and South Dakota below, all in cream thread.
Is it adjustable? Yes. One size, with a plastic snapback strap at the back.
Does it have a mesh back? Yes, and the mesh wraps the sides as well, so only the two front panels are solid fabric.
Does it match the green Jewel Cave hoodie? Yes. The Jewel Cave pullover hoodie carries the same design in cream: Jewel Cave arched over National Monument, the bat, EST. 1908, and South Dakota.
Why a bat? Jewel Cave is winter habitat for hibernating bats, which is why the bat turns up across the Jewel Cave merchandise.
