The Voyageur’s hat appears in early 18th century paintings, a double layer winter wool hat designed to be worn with space at the ends to trap extra heat and the design has never been improved upon. Scott MTN 30 Men's Beanie. It rolls into a watchcap, unrolls into a Voyageur, is called a Beanie for reasons we can’t explain. Updated with fibers fit for the modern world, because we’re not living outside in logging camps, dragging canoes along frozen rivers for weeks on end, or running trap lines and living in moss chinked cabins. We need wearable winter warmth, but not that much winter warmth, so this is acrylic, for an easy care, breathable, hat that keeps you comfortable whether you’re wearing it outside, or in. Roll it up for four layers of fabric over your ears on a cold day, roll it down and pair it with your best 18th century blanket coat for a wander back into history, or pair it with your hikers and snowshoes for a ramble through the north woods. An impeccable classic with an unimpeded history of keeping outdoorsmen warm for 300 years in shades of woodlots and snow. Worn indoors and out by men who followed rivers to their source, walked through the wilderness, and settled around wood fires in the evening with pipes and tall tales. A Voyageur. For men who appreciate the “sky of the north that’s vast and still.”
