Whitney's 70's Ski Hat

When I was a kid every guy I knew wore a hat like this. Triangular, striped and itchy. We've all softened a little in the last thirty years, so this updated version features an impossible-to-complain-about cashmere lining.

This Christmas I'm giving one to all of the men in my family. I can't wait to look around at them wearing their 70's Ski Hats, reminding me of how much I loved those times.

Love the hat! Thank you. I still have my 70's ski sweater, light blue, that matches - could never give it up...

I'm with you about jog-annoyance. Check our Meg Swanson's jogless color joins. Save your little strings for next hat!

I remember those too! I was on the ski team, and we all wore them. That was 1984...

This is the Moriarty hat that was designed and made in Stowe, VT and was very popular. You could order your own design. I have been looking for this pattern for a long time.
