OFFICIAL 'Neu Ruby' English Driving Cap, Winter 10 Preview
OFFICIAL unveils their latest preview of the Neu Ruby, English Driving Cap, which is part of their upcoming Fall/Winter 10 collection. As with most silhouettes that Official offers, they always seem to add their remix to a conventional hat. The Neu Ruby English Driving Cap is no different. Official sets out to switch things up by combining traditional brush tweed with hand-woven Guatemalan fabric. The cap features a black/white tweed with only the left panel switched out with colorful Guatemalan fabric for an exciting pop. The result is a union of fabrics representing different cultures to create a modernized Driving / Ivy cap that dates back to the 14th century United Kingdom. Stay posted for more as Official continues to grow their hat style assortment for 2010.
