Veteran beachcombers know — a cozy woolen hat is a year-round staple when sea winds blow. Crisp cables and textured ribbing in Arbor’s springy Targhee wool or Dapple’s breezy Merino and organic cotton blend stand ready for all manner of coastal and city expeditions. Work up the doughty watchcap version for extra warmth or sport your style with a sleek beanie. For a quick sea change, turn Ely inside-out to reveal reversible columns of cabling.
