Skully Cap

What can you do with a skull cap? Plenty!

Doctors and nurses wear skull caps (or scrub caps) to secure their hair during surgery.

Chefs wear skull caps to keep hair out of their twice-braised beef.

Motorcycle riders, football players, and construction workers wear skull caps to make their helmets and hard hats more comfortable. (And to look super cool, of course.)

This week Rob is working on a totally rad, custom skull cap. Make it out of superheros, Harry Potter prints, or a gnarly Indian Motorcycle design, and you’re guaranteed to be the coolest dude around!
