Rare vintage wool herringbone alpine-style winter cap featuring a compact cycling/ski silhouette with short brim, ear flaps, partial neck coverage, and adjustable grosgrain chin strap. Beautiful gray tweed exterior with satin-lined crown and flannel-lined ear sections. Incredible mid-century European sporting aesthetic with strong heritage, mountaineering, and vintage ski style appeal.
The silhouette is a unique blend of vintage ski cap, aviator cap, and hunting hat styling that fits perfectly with current heritage menswear, workwear, rustic outdoor, and gorpcore fashion trends.
The exterior appears to be wool or wool blend tweed in a gray herringbone weave. Crown features a traditional self-covered top button. Interior crown is lined in gray satin with tan flannel-lined ear sections for warmth and comfort.
Metal slide buckle is marked “Rome.”
Condition is very good vintage condition overall. Light wear present to the grosgrain ribbon strap from age/use, but still fully intact and completely wearable. Wool exterior presents beautifully with no major flaws noted.
Size and measurements:
It appears to be a youth or small framed adult hat.
