A superbly comfortable and warm knit hat! This design doesn’t pull any punches-- it’s a straight-forward, classic style that anyone can wear. Nothing trendy about it, this hat will always be in style. I love this design because it’s a good stand-by. I imagine it being worn for years and years, on countless camping trips, walks to the park, and snow days. Customize it with your favorite colors or to represent a beloved team. It’s so stretchy that it will fit anyone. I hope it will become your favorite, too.
