This International Harvester IH logo knit beanie is a vintage 1970s to 1980s style winter hat with a royal blue body, white patterned band, and white yarn pom pom.
I like that the IH design is knitted directly into the hat rather than added as a separate patch. The repeated red and black International Harvester symbols stand out clearly against the cream white band and bright blue knit.
