Always have been. Always will be.
Hats and accessories are our sole focus, not an just afterthought. We are actually the opposite of a fast fashion brand intent on selling you the thinnest cashmere for the highest profit. We pile on our cashmere, using the thickest and most dense yarn available. We are obsessed; sparing no expense or effort. Our hats are heirlooms, non-disposable, made to last forever.

A constant comfort.
Our hats radiate warmth, determined to comfort you, loyal to the end. A transformative heritage piece made to regulate both your temperature and your mood. Never a distraction, never itchy, always performance-ready.
Our commitment is eternal.
We believe anything we choose to own should support us in living well. Our promise to keep your hat fit and functional is tied to truth of ‘less is more’. With our hat as your constant companion, you are an active participant in practical minimalism. Your hat will go the distance and we will tag along with the tools to keep your hat loved and cared for — always.
Steadfast origins.
Golightly Cashmere began in Taos, New Mexico. Haleigh, our Founder, was a ski-bum and young mother. Soon, it was obvious she had perfected something worthy of devotion. A small, black and white photograph advertising “The Cashmere Watchcap” in the New Yorker magazine started the phenomena. The phone rang, faxes arrived, hats were knit. Soon after, our hats began to work their magic and the watchcap gained a loyal fanbase.
It’s personal: Woman-owned, family-operated.
Golightly’s knitting mill operates with a close team of knitters and designers. With Haleigh and her husband Oscar as CEO, we see our work as an act of preservation, committed to keeping industrial knitting alive in the USA. When you invest in our hats, you help raise the standard for all garment manufacturing. We pay fair wages and maintain superior ethical practices. We are constantly striving to improve upon our best for our customer, our community, and our consumption of cashmere.
Greatest of all time
20 years of testing our hats in blizzards, freezing rain, desert nights and everything in between testifies to the marvel of the GOAT. They wick moisture, regulate temperature, and insulate. But none of this is a surprise; cashmere is the fleecy undercoat of the toughest of animals (goats) living in the harshest of conditions of Mongolia. We source the best: fleece from Outer Mongolia, spun and dyed in Italy and Scotland and then knit by yours truly, here in Santa Fe..
