"After the Set" Cuffed Beanie · Embroidered

The artwork’s interplay of flat gray silhouettes and black hatching makes the medium gray background feel like a gentle overcast. The figure of a surfer, viewed from behind, sits resting on his longboard with bent knees and arms wrapped around them. His short, curly hair and the careful muscle shading are picked out through measured black lines, directly above a strong, arched white letterform that draws the eye downward.

• The water is imagined as a series of overlapping, layered grays, outlined in scalloped black and flecked with small white highlights to catch the surface’s restlessness.
• Below the scene, the words ‘AFTER THE SET’ are stretched into a pair of upward and downward-rising arcs—tall, woodcut-style serif letters with vertical black hatching inside the white fill, standing dense and slightly uneven in baseline.
• Side margins are intentionally left plain, heightening the focus on the central scene and giving the design a unified, overcast silhouette.

The embroidered beanie balances its dense illustration on top with visually weighty lettering below, and the font’s bowing curve reflects the motion of waves above. It suits those who appreciate a subtle surfer reference or anyone after a graphic with rest at its heart.
