The Oysterman’s cap, with an abstracted oysters and pearls motif, is a play on the traditional watchman’s cap. This hat is double knitted and reversible: with its optional folded brim, it is really like 4 hats in 1. The hat is knit bottom-up and finishes with a 3-sided crown. It is perfect for everything from brisk fall mornings on the beach to winter ski trips. Please feel free to play around with color and make your cap unique!
