Howley makes winter hats the way they used to be made: cut and sewn by hand in the USA, in real sizes, from materials that actually perform. Whether you want a warm Polartec fleece hat for the coldest days, a lightweight merino wool beanie you can wear indoors and out, or a low-profile skullcap that fits under a helmet, every style here is built to last and backed by our Lifetime Guarantee.
Unlike one-size beanies, Howley winter hats come in up to five sizes so you can get a fit that stays put and feels right. And because they run larger than most people expect, we recommend checking the size chart before you order.
How to choose the right winter hat
- For maximum warmth without weight: The Original Howley Polartec fleece hat delivers twice the warmth at half the weight of wool.
- For everyday, indoor-to-outdoor wear: The House Hat merino wool beanie keeps you comfortable without overheating and folds into your pocket.
- For a slim fit under a helmet or hood: The Low-G wool blend skullcap is low-profile and layers smoothly under gear.
- For a brimmed look: The Boss Howley and The BLVD add a patent-pending brim to the Howley fit.
What are Howley's winter hats made of?
Our hats use two proven cold-weather materials. Polartec, the original performance fleece named one of the Top 100 inventions of the 20th century, powers the Original Howley for warmth without bulk. A lightweight merino wool blend powers The House Hat and the Low-G skullcap for all-day comfort across a wide range of temperatures. Polartec fabric is milled in New Hampshire and Tennessee, and every hat is sewn in New Jersey.
Why buy a Made-in-USA winter hat?
Howley hats are cut and sewn by hand in the USA, offered in real sizes instead of one-size-fits-all, and backed by a Lifetime Guarantee against defects and breakage under normal use. It is winter gear built to last, from a company that believes in American manufacturing.
