Cable Knit Earflap Hat from Urban Outfitters


As Siberian winds turn the city into an urban tundra, fur earflap hats have reemerged as a functional necessity and stylish alternative to traditional beanies. Fortunately, this classic cold-weather hat has been updated with some modern touches since it's illustrious cameo in the 1980's piece de resistance, Uncle Buck. No longer fashioned from the hide of our furry, forest friends, earflap hats are now typically made with faux (fake) fur that feels just as amazing as the real thing, minus the pungent petting zoo aroma. This one from Urban Outfitters has a cable knit exterior and an insulating, fleece lining for supreme warmth. Knit ties at the bottom allow you to rock the earflaps up, a nice option to have when temperatures climb above Arctic.
