Among Deadheads, the Steal Your Face is more than a logo — it’s a compass rose, a beacon, a little flash of cosmic mischief that lets you know you’re among your own. When the Rockwing tradition first fluttered into being, old-school tour veterans whispered about special versions of the wings that marked higher “flight levels” in the invisible hierarchy of the long, strange trip. And at the top of that whisper-chain was the golden one — the pin said to be gifted only to the rare souls who had truly earned their wings.
This Gold-Plated Steal Your Face Rockwing carries that same mythic energy. It shines like a sunrise over Shakedown Street — bright, warm, and impossible to ignore. Whether the legends are literal or just the kind of truth that lives in campfire stories, wearing the gold wings signals that you’ve traveled far enough with the Dead to understand that the journey is half map, half magic.
The centerpiece is the classic Steal Your Face skull, framed by beautifully sculpted pilot wings and finished with a radiant gold plating that feels undeniably celebratory. Designed by an actual Deadhead pilot, this officially licensed Grateful Dead® pin blends aviation tradition with psychedelic folklore in a way only a true fan could dream up.
Wear it boldly on your jacket, hat, guitar strap, or festival bag. Gift it to someone who’s leveled up in life, in kindness, in adventure, or in Deadhead spirit. Or keep it as your own little emblem of having learned to navigate life’s turbulence with a smile and a drumbeat.
Available in 1.5-inch and 2.75-inch sizes — choose the captain’s wingspan or the classic subtle sparkle. Either way, the gold plating gives this Steal Your Face Rockwing unmistakable presence.
Officially licensed by the Grateful Dead® and crafted with pride, this pin is ready to follow you wherever your next flight — musical or otherwise — takes you.
