Balvenie
Balvenie is a classic hat designed to show off a subtle tweed. It’s based loosely on a hat I saw in a vintage shop years ago, and loved the lines of. I’m not sure how close it is to the original, as I never did take a photo, but the combination of simple cables, single ribs and a k2 stayed in my mind for years .
