Congratulations Boston Bruins!!!

YAK Apparel Congratulates Boston Bruins!

our own the Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup on June 15, 2011 after defeating the Vancouver Canucks in seven games in the Stanley Cup finals. This was their first championship since 1972.

In 1924 , at the convincing of Boston grocery tycoon Charles Adams, the National Hockey League decided to expand to the United States. Adams had fallen in love with hockey while watching the 1924 Stanley Cup Finals between the NHL champion Montreal Canadiens and the WCHL champion Calgary Tigers. He persuaded the NHL to grant him a franchise for Boston, which occurred on November 1, 1924. With the Montreal Maroons, the team was one of the NHL’s first expansion teams.

100% natural Wool

Did you know that…
Sheep pasture
Sheep Pasture. One of the sources of wool for the YAK Hats
“Wool is comfortable to wear in both warm and cool climates. This is because wool is an absorbent fiber. When the air is cool and damp, wool absorbs moisture and keeps a layer of dry insulating air next to the skin. When it is warm, that same absorbtion capacity takes up perspiration and keeps insulating dry air next to the skin, making the body’s natural cooling system work better.”

YAK hat brand stands for cutting edge fashion as well as comfort hence  are made of 100% natural wool, they are either YAK wool from Nepal or sheep wool from New Zealand.
