BARTS | Profo Beanie

Have you ever wondered why hats have pom-poms? Because it's a murky business. Some say it's a throw-back to an ancient form of knitting where you had to gather the loose ends of yarn, others that it was a way of denoting a soldier's company or regiment in Napoleonic times. The story we like best is that it was to stop sailors banging their heads on the beams of ships. Whatever the case, they look great – especially on a hat like the BARTS Profo Beanie. Featuring a fun striped design, the Profo is also made from a 30% wool knit, making it extra toasty on cold days
