We went through six rounds of sampling to get the knit and the cut of this beanie exact and what we feel is to be the fashionable and functional beanie on the market today. A beanie that can be stuck in your back pocket in case the mother nature decides to put on a display or a beanie that can be the pinnacle of your ensemble for work or play.  If you're going to purchase one beanie this winter then the Team Zissou is bar none your best choice.
