Stagleap
Stagleap is a cabled cowl offered in two sizes. The cables shift across the height of the cowl, forming striking wedges of two by two ribbing, outlined by cables.
The larger size can be worn in an open, relaxed loop, or doubled up around your neck to protect you from the elements.
The smaller size fits comfortably over your head and will slip neatly under your winter coat, zipped up.
