Turtle Fur Men's Solid Merino Wool Classic Knit Beanie

I'm a bald man, so I have lots of beanies to keep my head warm in the winter. I'm heading somewhere much colder than I live in January for 2 weeks and given that all of my beanies currently have at times not cut it where I live now, I was expecting my head to solidify into ice while there. I looked specifically for wool and found this. 50% wool is not bad. Upon receiving this beanie, I can tell you it is by far the thinnest AND warmest beanie I've ever worn.

Bought this to replace a Turtle Fur black merino wool beanie I had for years but (thought I) lost on a camping trip. So disappointed in drop in quality of materials and construction. Old cap was 100% wool, made in Canada, with a tight weave and fit snugly on my head. New version of the cap is 50% wool/50% acrylic (knew this when purchased), made in China, but the weave is so loose that I could see the skin of my fingers if I placed them inside the cap and looked through. Also, the fit was relatively loose for a beanie cap. I'm really happy that I found my old one to stick with.

i bought a turtlefur beanie maybe 10 years ago- loved it.im not an expert in beanie wear, but the stitching/creasing is lopsided. it bulges on one side. really goofy looking

Comfy

Its fine. XL should be XL. Nice feel.

I thought it would have been a little thicker

Love it. Very comfortable and warm.

very, very warm. extra large size is indeed extra large; comfy fit for a large head
