Buckwheat Cowl

The Buckwheat Cowl features large Celtic-inspired motifs separated by columns of rope cables. To keep the cold air at bay, this funnel-shaped cowl is made with decreases to achieve a fit that’s wider at the shoulders and narrower around the neck. This versatile cowl is a great accessory for all.
