Florida-based guitar case company Gator Co. is offering a line of music-themed fabric masks for those in need due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The new masks feature a 100% cotton outer layer and organic cotton jersey knit inner layer, as well as a pocket for replaceable filters.
There’s also an adjustable straps for a secure fit, a felt replacement filter and instructions to make replaceable filters.
Five patterns, including two music-themed patterns, are available.
The masks are machine washable and reusable and are made in and distributed from the U.S.
"The demand for masks is very serious," said Crystal Morris, Gator Co. founder and CEO.
"I read the media reports and researched ways we can help with the mask shortage. We needed to respond, and we have the capabilities to make a positive impact. And we wanted to stick to our music roots with a few fun music patterns. We’re excited to be able to help in any way as we all rally to get through this."
