Collins

Ski, hike, or winter beach walk ready, Collins by Sloane Rosenthal is our interpretation of the essential winter beanie. Made in squishy, soft Forge, this hat is worked in five of our classic H+W colorways. It’s perfect for any H+W bits leftover from other projects or the best excuse to play with our colors for your own version!
