This warm hat features a cable design with a fold-over brim. The cables and ribbing lend a lot of stretch which means this hat will fit most adults.

My inspiration for the Alum Cave Hat is the ever-popular winding trail that eventually leads to Mount LeConte in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. A 2.3 mile hike beginning along Alum Cave Creek will lead you to Alum Cave which isn’t a cave at all but rather a bluff.
