My husband liked my Cabin hat so much that he asked me to make him one minus the pom pom, and I was happy to oblige. For his hat I chose a superwash yarn because he wanted to wear it to work and he tends to get pretty dirty in the workshop. The yarn is very soft, I only wish it didn’t pill so much. He likes his hats to fit a little looser than I do and not quite as long so I made his with only .5”/1.25 cm negative ease, and about .5”/1 cm shorter than the size 22.5”/57 cm in the pattern. He wears it all the time so I take that as a good sign. :)
