The tradition of carving lanterns is traced back to Ireland. Turnips were actually used first. These were left on the door steps of houses All Hallow’s Eve to ward off evil spirits. 7UNION has a Great Pumpkin of their own, just in time for Halloween. Their Jack-O-Lantern fitted baseball cap uses a sketchy font branding on the front panels. Round the back is the orange face ghoul. The style comes in four color ways. Notice the creative types out there, we don’t suggest transforming this into a lantern. The wool and polyester blend is a highly flammable combo. Leave that to the Headless Horseman professionals.
