Fulton

Looking for a hat that beats back the cold and look handsome doing it?

Fulton is available in two styles–watch cap (shown) and a slouchy beanie–for versatility and style preference. This hat is worked seamlessly from the bottom up starting with an optional tubular cast on for a polished look and features cables that flow seamlessly from 2x2 ribbing.
