Mohair Winter Berets
The ultimate winter berets, made of Angora goat's mohair, to wear Basque-style, but with enough room to pull over the ears to protect from the cold.
Mohair the hair of the Angora goat (not to be confused with Angora wool, which is made from the fur of the angora rabbit).Mohair is one of the oldest textile fibers in use. The Angora goat is thought to originate from the mountains of Tibet, reaching Turkey in the 16th century.
Mohair is a stronger fiber than wool and is naturally softer as well. It has been used in the automotive and aeronautical industries due to its extreme fire retardant properties and is used as a noise control barrier thanks to its high sound absorbency.
Above all, berets made of mohair are extremely comfortable and warm.
