For South Park fans, winter is the perfect time to dress up as their favorite Colorado character, which Burton makes especially possible with its range of South Park hats, hoods, socks, mittens and shirts.
Kenny, Cartman, Kyle and Stan are represented the most in the collection, however the red-eyed Towelie character and Mr. Hankey are also included on a number of the pieces. In addition to the apparel and accessories, Burton designed a South Park snowboard as well, which features Towelie in two different forms.
Although the snowboard is on the pricier end, the South Park hats and other accessories make for great holiday gifts, especially for a group of friends or siblings who are fans of the crude cartoon.
