Hats and Beanies
-
I hereby submit this as an idea for a new IH product line…
The stand-up beanie!
Knit by hand on a small circular loom. This is a really difficult painstaking and time consuming process with yarn this thick. It is a mighty pain in the arse to make, but it makes a seriously tough, warm, and rugged hat thats built to last a lifetime and beyond!
50% Alpaca
50% Merino
100% insane super heavyweight madness!

I did something just for fun to match my IHSW-10 sweatshirt and thought it might interest my fellow forum goers…
Had a hat made from thick chunky long staple cotton yarn knit by hand on a small circular hat loom (no side seems). Had it rough washed and boiled with onion skins for authentic natural aged look. Than brushed the inside with a brass brush until sweatshirt-like fuzziness appeared. Now it almost perfectly matches the IHSW-10 sweatshirt and paired with the sweat is now my favorite garb for evening walks and cold days. Thinking maybe to also indigo dip if I can get a hold of the indigo…

For me in the winter nothing, and I mean nothing beats my Stormy Kromer. There are pics of me wearing one in the 666xhs thread, so I'll steer from that. If you like history of a garment, this one has it in spades, as George "Stormy" Kromer was a badass who's wife created one of the most truly functional winter hats I have ever owned, all based on the rigors George put it through. Given that these are made upstate from me is a bonus.

How kuul is frogskin? And reversible to chambray? A win to be sure.

That hat is sick! Really like how it looks with the chambray out and the camo under… too bad I have so much blue and I don't like camo by itself too much.... looks good david

This looks nice…

"This 100% Wool USA made and sourced watch cap is one of the best hats you can find, period. Made in the US by a small family operating on just a few circular knitting machines that are each about 100 years old, these caps are crafted to stand the test of time. Made to 1940-1960 US Military specifications, which we consider to be one of the best eras in menswear and outerwear" -
Thanks to whoever it was that answered my Homburg question with the Fedora Lounge link, I was able to find and snag this at a steal. 100% pure beaver fur body would have retailed for $250, picked up on ebay new with tags and box for $40. These are usually considered a step up from standard fedoras, but I will likely still wear it casual, maybe even with my tassel loafers
