Retro 5 O’Clock Print Baseball Cap – Wasting Away Since 1977
The Retro 5 O’Clock Print Baseball Cap pays homage to a lifestyle rooted in island ease and rhythmic escape. Featuring a vibrant red parrot grasping a classic clock stuck at five, it playfully hints at the idea that life begins when the workday ends. The iconic phrase “Wasting Away Since 1977” calls back to a cultural movement sparked by music that preached freedom, rest, and the art of living in the moment.
This design subtly references a musical legend who helped make “Margaritaville” a household state of mind. 1977 wasn’t just a year — it was a revolution in how people viewed happiness. The parrot on this cap is more than a bird; it’s a symbol of rebellion against the grind, an emblem for those who trade stress for sunsets and meetings for mojitos.
Over the decades, fans have built an entire community around this ethos. From annual beach gatherings to loyal “parrotheads” passing the torch to new generations, this movement has transcended music and become a lifestyle. This cap, anchored in that rich tradition, instantly connects you with a broader tribe — people who know that time isn’t always about clocks, but about moments.
Whether you’re on vacation or just daydreaming at your desk, this cap offers a mental escape to a simpler time. It’s not just about nostalgia — it’s about making a statement: that five o’clock isn’t a number, it’s a mindset. Pull it on, tip it low, and let the world know — you’re living on your own time.
