Thick blocks of honeycomb cables are punctuated by bands of single knot ropes, adding elasticity and interest to this fishermen’s classic. Enjoy the lightness of woolen-spun Tones as it strikes the balance between dense insulation and weightless breathability, or opt for softness and bounce with Imbue Worsted. For added fun for your watchcap brim, play with Tones duotone shades or complementary hues of Imbue for a harmonious color pairing.
