Just call them Dreadnoughts or Doughboys

Good deal - I took the liberty of assuming such and filled out the form about 30
Seconds after spamming this thread with my question haha

Any idea when these will be available?

[Alex]

Will be today or tomorrow, dependant on how fast we can plough through the weekends orders.

I feel like @Sam is peering directly into my soul….

These look kinda “small” - meaning they don’t cover the ears much - @sam , would you consider this a tighter fit than the convoy?

@Appfaff They are smaller… cover less of your head than the convoy caps. I adjusted the turn up to fit my head better but I actually have a smallish head so some may find them too small. I wouldn't say it felt tight though...

And yes @Dstauffer … i see everything! 

[Appfaff]

Thanks for the info @Sam - I feel like my somewhat large noggin might not fit these well..

I never really buy beanies since my wife knits all sorts of great stuff for me with excessively fancy, expensive yarns, but I wanted to comment that this seems like a really great price for a professionally made, hand-knit beanie. With Japanese workers making reasonable wages and a pro probably needing something close to 4 hours to knit this by hand (perhaps 2 if there are hand-operated looping machines involved), there can’t be much profit by the time you factor materials, export, etc. So, in case anyone thinks $115 is a lot to spend on a wool hat, go make it yourself and see how you feel afterwards.

^ As a proud owner of the PN Convoy that cost the same, I can confirm that I wouldn’t think twice about paying that again should the need arise.

Our bad.  These are knitted in Montana USA.  I think your argument still holds though…...

Haha yeah. Roughly similar wages either way.

Sold out

Had to pick one of these up direct from the Papa as I missed out on the IH drop. Great cap, slightly smaller than the Convoy cap and with a thinner weave. Will be good to have outside of the coldest winter months.
