I always heard that 90% of your body heat escapes through your head. Whether or not that's true is up for debate, but with that in mind I decided I would get a nice, warm hat this winter. It seems like my ears are always cold so I was specifically looking for something that would cover them.

I just couldn't bring myself to wear one of those logger "ear flap" type hats. So I tried this out. It's soft and warm. I feel kind of like a roman when I wear it, but it's reasonably fashionable. One thing to note is the size of this hat. I have a relatively large head - 24" circumference at the forehead, for reference - and this fits OK, but a little more snug than I like.

All in all, I'm happy with it. I like Carhartt stuff; its usually well made. This is no different. It's stitched well and I'm certain it will last for a long time.
