Flat wool caps with a short brim are a go anywhere style for the winter months, they can be worn in thicker wool. These are basically indistinguishable from the fall /spring styles, apart from the thickness, and are great for someone who wants to look stylish during a short time outside. However, in a bitter cold, the lack of ear, or neck protection makes them an insufficient source of warmth for any real length of time.
