A Hat Fact

The possibly oldest hat ever found still in one piece was on the body of a bronze-aged man whose body was found frozen in the mountains between Austria and Italy. 

Estimated to be from around 3250 BC, so over 5 thousand years old.

The hat was a bearskin cap with a chinstrap made of several hides stitched together.

Wrap Around Hood

This green hood features a unique feature

The long scarf that forms part of the hood. 

This feature makes it very versatile to create a couple of different looks, such as wrapping it around the neck and down your back or just down the front.

Also could be called a Rasta cap, the extra volume in the crown is ideal for dreadlocks.
