A small New Hampshire company made a memorable mark during the early years of American motoring. Steamobile cars were built in Keene from 1900 to 1902, with named models that included the dos-a-dos and the Transit. This cuffed beanie brings that short-lived marque into a practical everyday accessory, celebrating its steam-powered beginnings, its public exhibitions, and the history collectors can trace through its changing ownership and factory story.
The Steamobile was an American steam car built in Keene, New Hampshire, from 1900 to 1902. Reynold Janney, factory superintendent of the Trinity Cycle Manufacturing Company, developed the car and marketed it in fall 1900. Its two-cylinder, double-acting engine was rated at 7/9 horsepower, and its water-tube boiler contained 420 copper tubes. The first model was priced at $850. Janney organized the Keene Automobile Company, which was purchased in February 1901 by E. P. Wells and Winfield S. Rogers, alongside the newly formed Steamobile Company of America. Janney left to become superintendent of Locomobile Works for two years; Rogers took over as factory superintendent and added a dos-a-dos model priced at $900. In 1901, Steamobile exhibited at the Pan-American Exposition and introduced the Transit, a model with a tonneau body up front, advertised for railroad inspection or package delivery. The Transit cost $1,000. F. Wilkinson & Co. became the British sole agent and showed the cars at the 1902 Royal Agricultural Hall Motor Show. Wells and Rogers then established Roller Bearing and Equipment Company of America in the Keene factory. In June 1902, Standard Roller Bearing of Philadelphia bought the Steamobile Company and the factory, including 40 unsold Steamobiles.

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.
