How Our Ski Hats Are Made.

Almost all the home knitters who make ski hats for Vermont Originals have been knitting for many years. It takes years of experience to achieve the skill level necessary to meet our quality standards. Most of our knitters make about 75 hats per week, although some can make as many as 100. We also have a group of home sewers who sew the hats together once they have been knit. Our tassel and braid makers also have years of crocheting experience as do the women who sew in the fleece linings.

Our ski hats are lined with fleece for extra warmth and comfort. The fleece is sewn into the knitted hat as the last step.
