Yakuza Premium YPS Beanie, Cuffless Acrylic Knit

Three letters across the forehead

Angular characters, nearly as tall as the hat itself: the YPS logo runs straight across the forehead and can be read from a good distance. Turn the beanie and a winged skull appears at the side in the same shade as the lettering. A small brand label sits at the lower edge and finishes it off.

Three colourways

The choice runs to black with grey lettering, light grey with dark grey lettering, and dark olive with black lettering. All three stay in muted territory; the logo separates itself through brightness rather than through a contrast colour. That works as well with bright jackets as it does with black.

Fit and yarn

Knitted without a turn-up, it sits smooth over the ears. Laid flat it measures about 23 centimetres wide and the same again in height, but stretches noticeably in wear, so one size is enough. The yarn is 100% acrylic, which holds warmth.
