Allegretto – a notation in my piano scores meaning “Quite Lively” and indeed this cable is. It expands and contracts, twists and flows upward from the brim to the crown. The wide ribbed brim allows for two styling options. Fold it back for a beanie fit and leave it down slouchy style. It is available in 4 sizes with both written and charted instructions.
