About this item: SSK branded 100% Cotton Knit Rasta hats by Shoe String King are the perfect solution for keeping long hair or dreadlocks up and out of the face.

The Shoe String King rastacap is commonly associated with Rastafarians (Rastas) as a way to tuck their locks away. However, this versatile fashion accessory can be worn for various reasons by both Rastas and non-Rastas alike. The unique design is sometimes referred to as a "Tam" (or "tam") due to its loose fit. Other Caribbean islander terms for the rastacap include rastafar, toppa[h], as well as simply cap or hat.

In terms of construction, the Shoe Sting King rastacap is similar to the tuque, but larger in size. This crocheted hat can be worn by both men and women, and can complement any look in a number of ways. Our selection of Rastacaps come in a range of sizes and shapes, suitable for various uses. People with dreadlocks and those without wear rastacaps for fashion, convenience, socio-political statements, 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 individuals in health and food service, as well as heavy machinery workers with long hair, for workplace safety reasons.

The claim to have originated the cap style has been separately made by people in Jamaica and Barbados, as well as some outlying islands, citing ancestral heritage or personal invention. Regardless of its origin, this fashion accessory remains timeless.
