STAY SOLAR RTA ADVENTURE CAP

This traditional "dad cap"—we like to call it a Father cap—is made of brown, water-resistant waxed canvas, perfect for all kinds of adventures. The cap features a brown and old gold embroidered "Stay Solar RTA" patch sewn onto the front, and it can be adjusted in the back with an antique gold slide.  You'll also find a small tag marked with our distinctive orange and gold Order of Fire seal—the symbol of solar culture—tastefully sewn into the adjustable strap. 

The cap comes in one size that should fit most. 

Care Instructions

This hat is meant to acquire a rugged, worn look, and the surface will acquire creases and marks in the waxed surface of the hat if it is crumpled or creased. If you want to remove the marks and freshen the hat up, a little steam from an iron or a steamer will melt the wax and clean up the surface of the hat. 

Ṛta

ऋत (Ṛta) is a Sanskrit word with Proto-Indo-European roots. It's one of the most important words in the Rig Veda with many meanings, but it is most widely associated with the concept of cosmic order, law, and truth.

Ṛta is pronounced roughly like "rita," with a slightly trilled "r" and short i and short a.

Ṛta expresses a reverence for order and truth and serves as a reminder to create and maintain order in our minds and our lives in the world around us.

Ṛta is harmonious in meaning with the slogan "Stay Solar."

Stay Solar

Become and remain the visionary creator in your world, the source of order amid chaos and darkness. Be the positive source light of truth, the nourishing warmth, and the center of gravity that draws people into your orbit. Be the man who people look up to.

Whatever happens...as you move through the universe...Stay Solar.
