Woolrich Woolen Mills Red Marl Cap

The red and black marl wool caught my eye when I first saw the Woolen Mills fall collection and now that it's out I'm not disappointed, and probably want it even more. It's not the classic red cable knit cap that is still on the want list, but the red and black blend really nicely in this particularly warm winter cap. I think it would like really great just above a chambray shirt and a wool vest of some sort. The colors are perfect for head wear as it adds a bit of color but is still muted enough to act as a good compliment. Coming in at about $90 it's not a bad price for a cap you'll definitely have for a few years. While some people complain about the price of a cap, it's actually an item that you can easily wear 5-7 days a week without worrying about it. That gets the cost-per-wear down quickly and makes a $100 hat not seem so bad.

Its cool, I might get one, $90 is not so much for a quality winter cap if you wear it a lot, I would say 90 000 yen for that visvim jacket a few posts ago is a lot worse.

Mmm... I don't think I can get into this whole flecked wool trend. I understand it's techincally a classic style -- I rewatched The Deer Hunter today and noticed Christopher Walken put on a flecked, turtle neck with his hunting gear. But most of the pieces I've seen just remind me of those awful socks:-

If by 'awful socks' you mean 'awesome socks', then yes, I agree with you. They're best worn at home, shoeless, after a day of snowboarding/skiing.
