BlackRock Gear Wooly Beanie

Feb 25, 2019

Hey guys, I got an email this morning asking about the Woolies design and how to fit and wear it correctly. I think it would be helpful to outline how and why we designed the Wooly the way we did and make sense of our non-symmetrical design. Our goal was a deep form fitting beanie that gives you full coverage. To make that happen we needed to design something that fit the contours of your head. Not just the ubiquitous dome hat sold everywhere but something meant to actually fit a persons head. The hat image below shows the "back" of the hat. We place the headband seam to the left and offset it with our Label to the right. Both of which fall just behind your ears for a clean look. You can see the center seam that goes over your head and ends at our horizontal "accent" piece. That piece stretches and forms nicely to the back of your head keeping the hat snug and in place.

So if you grab the label in your right hand and pop the hat on with the label just behind your right ear the hat will be on straight. The top seam should line up in the center of your forehead and go straight over your head. From the right side you can see the label and how that horizontal piece can fold and roll taking up extra material should you size up. The headband is also wide and double thickness to add warmth where you want it and to keep most seams free from laying across your ear.

From the front of the hat you don't see much of anything but the headband and the center seam. This makes for a clean looking hat thats nice enough to wear out around town or on you weekend adventures.

Our other images of the hat rolled and folded give you a better sense of the weight and thickness of the fabric. This wool is currently 195gsm which makes it a nice mid-range thickness for wool. It's not the thinnest out there, but it's also not a thick sweatshirt thickness. We think these Woolies are the perfect all around hat when it's just not cold enough for our Original Goose Down BlackRock Hat.

Hope that give you guys a bit more info. Looks like we've sold over 100 already in this drop. So we are over half way sold out. Jump on this drop down if you like any of the colors available. We also have the rest of our colors available on blackrockgear.com but not at the great MassDrop sale price!
