The Shaolin Wu Knit Cap is Nothing to Mess With

Wu Tang Clan could come out with anything, I would love it. Wu Tang Clan toothbrush? I am all over that. Thankfully this time they are releasing the Shaolin Wu Knit Cap with APPLEBAUM, and you can fully expect me to be sporting one.

A super simple cap that is available in three different colorways (yellow, black, and white). The front features the word ‘Shaolin’ diagonally with the Wu Tang Clan symbol beside it. And on the back, perhaps the best part of the Shaolin Wu Knit Cap, is the phrase ‘Protect Ya Neck’. Dynamite.
