Wantastiquet Cowl
This cowl is inspired by the trail on Wantastiquet Mountain in southern New Hampshire. On the ascent you can take the long, winding trails or, if slightly more daring, you can traverse the steep and rocky cut-throughs. The movement of cables in this extra-long cowl, as well as the way it’s worn, reflects the beauty of the designer’s favorite spot.
