A Little Aussie Larrikin 

Every local knows to keep an eye on the gum trees. The Drop Bear Cap from General Store Merchandise is a fun nod to Australia's most famous tall tale, with a detailed embroidered koala perched in a gum tree and "Drop Bear" stitched underneath. It's a 6-panel cap with a curved brim and a fabric adjustable back, so it's easy to wear for weekend errands, beach walks, footy on the weekend, or a day out on the Northern Rivers. It also makes a gift with a sense of humour.

FAQ

Is the Drop Bear Cap adjustable?
Yes. It has a fabric adjustable strap at the back, so you can tighten or loosen it for a comfortable fit.

Is this a good gift for overseas friends or visitors?
Yes. It's a fun Aussie keepsake that's light to post or pack, and it's something he'll actually wear rather than leave in a drawer.

Will a cap keep the sun off on hot days?
The curved brim helps shade your eyes and face. For extra coverage over your ears and neck, a wide brim hat is the better choice, and we're happy to help you pick one.

What is a drop bear?
A drop bear is a tongue-in-cheek Aussie legend about a fierce koala-like creature that drops from the trees. It's a favourite yarn to tell tourists, and this cap shares the joke.

Can I get help choosing a cap or gift?
Yes. Pop into our Mullumbimby store or send us a message, and we'll help you find something that suits.
