Now Voyageurs
A modern take on the red toques of the French Canadian colonial era fur traders, Les Voyageurs - The Travellers…and of course for classic film buffs, a pun on the old Bette Davis flick, Now, Voyager!
It has a hip buttoned extension instead of the traditional stocking cap and tassle. Made up in fluffy, fuzzy angora - these hats are super warm!! Soft on the hair as well - no hat head!! Good and roomy for people with curly or full heads of hair. The size can be adjusted easily for a more snug fit.
