Altamont's 2013 Spring/Summer Fungi collection brings trippy visuals in the form of fungus-inspired hats. The collection features a series of surreal hand dyed ball caps and camp hats among other things.
The 'Fungi Camp Hats' come printed in full vivid purple or beige. Both fully patterned hats show mushrooms growing in a field of grass and flowers. The purple hat in particular stands out because of its deep, brilliant dye. Standing in stark contrast to the rest of the hats, Altamont's logo is stitched front and center.
Altamont's 'Fungi Ball Caps' also come in purple or beige. Less blunt than the camp hats, these caps feature the collection's signature fungi design in a more subtle fashion. The classy ball caps keep the mushrooms subtle by printing them only on the bill.
