Knit with a blend of silk and superfine merino, this hat reimagines the classic seaman’s cap with a touch of opulence. The folded
back brim adds a timeless look, while the gradual crown shaping ensures a snug and ideal fit, merging design and functionality
seamlessly. Its warmth envelopes you in comfort, making it your go-to for winter wear.

Silk Twist is a spun with fine merino and silk. The silk strand twirls and swirls around the wool--creating a shiny highlight. Only one skein is needed for this classic hat.
