About this item

More collar than scarf -- crosses your throat, tucks under a coat, doesn't move while you carry a bag.

100% wool knit, cut to commuter scale: 76cm x 18cm. Enough to cross over the throat and tuck once. 100% wool scarves at heritage brands retail $99 to $195+ (Brooks Brothers / Pendleton range). This is $48.

100% Wool, dense knit
76cm x 18cm -- commuter dimensions
Cross-and-tuck design -- doesn't slip
Folds into a coat pocket

The four inches above your collar that no jacket covers — this is for those.

Why a collar beats a scarf for the commute --

Material: 100% Wool
Knit: Dense ribbed
Dimensions: 76cm x 18cm
Closure: Pull-on

Hand wash cold with wool detergent or machine wash gentle in mesh bag. Lay flat to dry. Sweater shaver for first-wear pills.

The problem isn't the cold. It's the transition. You leave dressed for outdoor. Then you're underground, sweating through the second layer. Then you're in a heated office for eight hours. Then the wind hits you again at 6pm, walking to the next train.

A full scarf is wrong for at least half of this. Too much, too hot, too difficult to manage while carrying a bag. But nothing is also wrong. You feel it at your collar. That specific cold.

Collar-format knits sit closer to the body than scarves -- which means they reach body temperature faster and stay there. Less air to heat means less time spent feeling cold while the fiber catches up.
