Thanks to the early punks who edged their way to the front row for . Join our kerchief cult and be rewarded with some limited edition bandanas, designed by some of our favorite musician friends and iconic artists who live their punk values. Like:

Of course, punk rockers have questions. ďż˝

“Why are you encouraging us to purchase them in sets of four instead of just picking one?”

Remember when you could send off a single stamp and get the Mechanic’s Guide to Putting Out Records? Yeah, postage doesn’t work like that anymore.

Which is why we recommend grabbing four designs when they drop. It makes shipping more reasonable, and guarantees you get dibs on every killer design.

“What will I do with four bandanas? I only have one neck.”

The real question is: What will you do *without* four bandanas?

One lonely bandana won’t survive the tidal wave of tears you’ll unleash when it finally hits you that the Bandana Boat has sailed—gliding into the mist like an opportunity you almost grasped.

And there you’ll stand on the dock, clutching your single, rapidly saturating square of cloth as it whispers, softly yet judgmentally, “You should’ve gone for the four-pack.”

If we’ve convinced you, state your intentions on this form and we’ll invite you to the orientation meeting.
