Waffled cartridge belt rib adds dimension to this quintessential beanie, crisply pronounced in Arbor’s Targhee wool. A slightly ruched crown draws the eye up, in praise of independent thinking and innovation. Add your personal flair with a contrasting cast on or invite the solid color to proudly speak for itself.
