This trim, tailored hat delivers understated masculine style with well-crafted details that are worth a second look. The all-over cable pattern, worked in a fine superwash wool yarn, creates crisp texture and warmth without bulk. At the crown, the cable geometry seamlessly transforms into series of puckered matched decreases. A contrast facing picked up from the cast-on edge adds an extra layer of insulation over the ears and a surprise flash of orange.
