The "rag" look has been open for a while now. This knit hat uses cut panels while exposing all the loose threads & seams giving it a inside out look. I found this one on the Affrancir site. Made by Testify this one features a distressed crest graphic over the panels. Also available in black, gray, & deep purple... find it here.
