The Everyday Beanie (Lives in your jacket pocket)

The hat that lives in your jacket pocket from October to April. Knit outer, brushed inner band, cuffed, and nobody's logo on the front. Windproof knit with a soft inner band so it does not itch at the forehead. Cuffed fit that sits over the ears and stays there. One size, stretches to fit. Four colours picked to go with everything else you already own. Straight about it: this is acrylic, not merino. It is warm, it holds its shape, and it survives a washing machine. Wool breathes better on a hard climb and costs three times as much. This is the one you keep in the car and never think about.
