Stussy Fall 07 Beanies

From the looks of it Stussy is going hard with plaids & stripes in a major way for 07. Here are two of many knit offerings from their Fall 07 collection. The first one is a stripe beanie with the Peace & Prosperity tagline that also appears on some apparel & fitted caps. Second is the half stripe, half plaid screen-printed beanie with Stussy loop label. Stussy consistently releases some of the hottest knits in the market & continues to do so with this offering. Get yours through Stussy online or their boutique doors.
