The RoomPlace (Harlem Furniture) Cuffed Beanie
Product Details & Size Guide
The RoomPlace Cuffed Beanie brings a piece of Chicago-area retail history into an everyday accessory. The story began in 1912 with a small West Town furniture store, grew under the Harlem Furniture name, and later became The RoomPlace. After bankruptcy and a brief return to its original name in 2024, the retailer left behind a changing brand story that resonates with Midwest collectors. Wear it as a quiet nod to local stores, familiar signs, and the people who remember them.
The RoomPlace began in 1912, when Sam Berman opened a small furniture store in Chicago’s West Town neighborhood. In 1950, the business opened a store on Harlem Avenue under the name Harlem Furniture. It added a Chicago store near 79th Street and Cicero Avenue in 1985, then expanded to Hoffman Estates, Homewood and Vernon Hills by 1990. A distribution center opened in Hillside by 1988. In the early 2000s, Harlem Furniture adopted the name The RoomPlace; later growth included an Orland Park store and an expansion of its distribution center from 200,000 to more than 300,000 square feet. In 2011, former CEO Bruce Berman acquired the retailer for $15.1 million. A 2016 fire destroyed its Woodridge distribution center, and the company announced an Indianapolis-area expansion that year. The RoomPlace filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in February 2024. After attempts to sell its assets and an announcement that remaining stores would close, it briefly resumed operations under its original Harlem Furniture name, opening four stores. That venture lasted only a few months.

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.
