First Union Cuffed Beanie
This First Union cuffed beanie gives a classic legacy-bank name a relaxed, everyday place in your collection. First Union began in Charlotte in 1908 as Union National Bank and became one of the most recognizable names in regional banking before its 2001 transition to Wachovia. It is a thoughtful nod to Charlotte corporate history, office-culture nostalgia, and the long merger era that reshaped banking across the Eastern United States.
First Union began as Union National Bank, founded by H. M. Victor on June 2, 1908, as a small banking desk in a Charlotte, North Carolina, hotel lobby. A 1958 merger with First National Bank and Trust Company of Asheville created First Union National Bank of North Carolina. The company added Cameron-Brown, a mortgage banking and insurance firm, in 1964 and incorporated as First Union Corporation in 1967. A 1968 reorganization established the corporate structure used until the Wachovia merger. Following the 1985 Supreme Court decision supporting regional interstate banking legislation, First Union pursued rapid expansion, completing more than 90 banking-related acquisitions through 2001. Key deals included Atlantic National Bank, First Fidelity of Newark, CoreStates Financial of Philadelphia, Bowles Hollowell Conner and The Money Store. On September 4, 2001, First Union completed its purchase of Wachovia National Bank and became Wachovia Corporation, adopting the Wachovia name and ticker symbol. Wachovia later merged into Wells Fargo in 2010.

This cuffed beanie carries a lived-in street energy—soft, warm, and quietly bold. The low-profile embroidery sits on the cuff like a personal insignia: a small, slightly distressed logo with a touch of red that reads as both vintage and current. It slips on easily and stays put through commutes, late-night walks, and chilly market runs, adding a subtle graphic edge without shouting.
Wear it with a worn denim jacket, layered knit, or an oversized coat. It works for creatives who like to curate a look that’s casual but considered, for city cyclists who need dependable warmth, or for anyone who favors compact, tactile details. The hypoallergenic acrylic knit keeps things comfortable against the skin while the 12" cuff gives you styling flexibility—fold it high for warmth or roll it low for a slouchier silhouette. This is a small, everyday piece that quietly completes an outfit and ages into its own personality.
