Combining the warmth of a hat and a neck warmer in a single piece, this black cashmere balaclava hood is knitted in Italy with a clean, continuous rib. The ribbed texture gives the knit natural elasticity, allowing the hood to frame the face gently without feeling restrictive, while the flared lower edge sits neatly over the collarbones to keep out cold draughts. Knitted drawstring cords with knotted ends allow you to adjust the opening when the wind picks up.
It is made from 100% Grade A two-ply cashmere (2/28,000 yarn count), chosen for its soft handle and reliable warmth without excessive bulk. Because the base lies flat around the shoulders, it slips easily beneath the lapels of a tailored wool coat in the city or zips comfortably inside a padded ski jacket in the mountains. In classic black, it pairs effortlessly with cream knitwear, camel outerwear or dark winter layers.
