The European Shearling Ball Cap

This is the winter cap made from Spanish shearling, with an impermeable suede exterior and cozy fur lining for optimal protection and warmth in the snow and wind. Handmade at a British artisan with five generations of experience, the cap’s leather is tanned from the coats of Spanish merino/entrefino sheep, whose supple yet rugged hides make them ideal for shaping into close-fitting headgear. While reinforced stitching on the crown seals out snowflakes and drafts, the fleecy interior helps insulate while wicking away excess moisture to prevent overheating. The ball-cap style has a long bill that aids visibility and protects the face from squalls, blizzards, and sun glare off fresh snow. In a storm or cold snap, a 270° flap folds down to keep the ears and back of the neck dry and warm. 11” L x 8” H x 4 1/2” D. (8 oz.)
