This unmatched quality & luxurious blend of merino wool and cashmere are the bedrock of the Brooklyn Beanie. Merino wool and cashmere are not new synthetic technologies or laboratory designed materials. They are, quite simply, the softest and most desirable wools available globally. They are odor resistant, highly durable, and surpass synthetic fibers in every way possible. We use these wools because our clients don't look at a beanie as an excuse to make a cheap-feeling, uninteresting accessory.
