Their Secret Service sweater is really something special

Beware their (TAD that is) Aussie merino wool.  I asked them and it's from sheep that have mulesing done to them.  I'm no expert, or a bleeding heart liberal, but you're better off with New Zealand merino in general, much less chance of animal cruelty.

i just googled mulesing\images… wtf

i have a BR, it's kinda on the small side but very nice quality and warm

as a HUGE filson fan i have been rocking the mackinaw cap for years as well… cant get enough of it.. other than that i always get the USN wool watch cap from my local army surplus store..is about 10 bucks and its warm.

that being said i sort of have my eye on a BR watch cap as well they are super nice and seem really warm.. i just like my watch cap to be little shorter when i roll it up..

i bought one of their watch caps last week and i like it so far. also, a normal USN watch cap from a surplus store is always a good investment. warm as hell and under $10.

I dunno…I looked up flystrike as well...I'd rather have the procedure done to me, no matter how inhumane, than have blowflies eating my anus...

I'm not defending TAD or Aussie wool, just a thought...

Yep, I think it's one of those issues where human's will debate back and forth, but it basically sucks to be the sheep either way.  TAD were pretty cool about it though, when I asked, and said they'd look into it.

Check out Icebreaker from New Zealand, their stuff looks cool.

I have a Buzz Rickson/William Gibson A-4 watch cap and i love it.

[guillaume]

it's not a beanie but if you want something warm, go with a canada goose aviator hat. they look cool and will keep your ears nice and warm

anyone other then me into tweed caps?

the last hat, is my oldest had it over ten years. its dying. tried to buy from them numerous times but they are a right pain in the ass
it'd be rad if ih made anything in tweed

[Megatron1505]

Thats a good look for you man, something I may look into myself.

[natehate]

im a hat junkie. thats just the tip of the iceberg
but its the hats i wear the most
love the tweed
and it ages too

[scroogen]

I've got a couple hats….

Pendleton fabric, but I'm not sure it's a Pendleton hat.  Not tweed I don't think, but still a hat

[picture link broken]

This one is Brooks Bros.  It's a nice light cap.

[natehate]
