Manly tweed makes a great guy gift. Runs small.

Mods: Used US#3 to get gauge. Increased diameter by one repeat, (32 st) from 6 to 7, and it was still too small for my 24” head nephew, who picked out the yarn. Barely fit me and I have a small head. Working on green version here for Diane that is a slouch after adding 2 repeats (from 6 to 8 repeats).

16 st cables are hard on the hands. It pays to knit loosely and take your time to avoid dropping any stitches. The best stitch holder for this pattern was my #00 16” circular. Worked perfectly.

Yarn color is a neutral medium gray, close to first pictures.
