Elmer Logo Tuque

Combining adjustable cuff versatility with acrylic's shape memory, the Elmer Logo Tuque by Herschel delivers two silhouettes—slouch beanie and fitted cap—by varying fold depth to control ear coverage, forehead fit, and Herschel label visibility; the acrylic knit layers flat under hoods and seals in heat, but is more prone to pilling than natural fibers and is not recommended below -10°C without layering, while the one-size fits 21–24 inch heads and is machine-washable.
