As much as we love the Deadhead look — bright graphic tie-dye shirts, jean shorts, and sandals — it’s not the most versatile (or, let’s be honest, cool) outfit to wear in your daily life.

Luckily, we found a great way to rep the Grateful Dead — both in your daily life or at a concert (maybe at one of Dead & Company’s Las Vegas shows). Merch supplier Ripple Junction carries some officially-licensed Grateful Dead hats that are actually, well, cool — even if you put the Dead references aside. All of them are available on Amazon for less than $25, making great additions to Grateful Dead merch collections or gifts for any Deadheads in your life.

One of our favorites from the Grateful Dead x Ripple Junction is this red flatbill hat, which features the Steal Your Face logo centered on the front and a unique, Nineties-inspired corduroy construction. We think it’s a great piece for topping off casual, everyday outfits — think, jeans or chinos and tees or casual button-up shirts.
$24.99
Another good Grateful Dead cap from Ripple Junction is this blue dad hat, showcasing a small dancing bear graphic on the front. The color and dancing bear let you wear the cap two ways: boldly, with other Grateful Dead tie-dye pieces and music festival gear, or casually, with tees, jeans, and sneakers.
$24.99
For colder days, pick up this waffle-knit Grateful Dead x Ripple Junction beanie. The cozy acrylic cap features embroidered dancing bear heads across the roll.
$21.99
Head to Amazon to shop the Grateful Dead hats from Ripple Junction, all coming in between $22 and $25, and check out the brand’s other officially licensed music merch here.
Once you’ve secured your Grateful Dead hat, consider putting it to good use at one of Dead & Company’s upcoming shows in Las Vegas. The band, which finished its claimed final tour last year, recently announced an upcoming residency at the Las Vegas Sphere. The residency will span 24 shows between May 16 through July 13, 2024. Right now, you can score some of the best prices on tickets at StubHub and VividSeats, or you can purchase through Ticketmaster.
