Description
Few pieces of knitwear can lay a claim to history like Douglas Mawson’s balaclava. Worn by the famed geologist and Antarctic explorer on his 1929-1931 expedition, this humble garment helped protect Mawson from the nature’s greatest extremes, before being commemorated on the original $100 banknote.
