100% hand-knitted for full-level comfort
BARTS is bringing back those vintage vibes – and we’re loving it. Take the Brubru Bomber, for example. The trapper-style design has a classic BARTS twist – it’s made entirely by hand, meaning every stitch is truly unique. Plus, ear flaps and the softest Iceland yarn – with 50% recycled polyester – deliver all-day comfort and warmth. For a cosy retro throwback, you can’t go wrong with this earflap trapper beanie.

Isn't it funny how many outdoor brands seem to have started out with one man and a sewing machine? In 1986, the man was Bart Koene and the place was sun-soaked St Tropez. Bart originally knocked up handmade swimming shorts to sell on the beach, but one day a stylish friend was helping him flog his wares when a passing tourist tried to buy her bandana. Bart knew an opportunity when he saw one, and quickly branched out into headwear and other accessories.
Now based in Amsterdam, BARTS has come a long way since ‘86. In fact, the brand offers more than 2,500 products including hats, beachwear and bags. But it’s about quality, not quantity. This is clobber with conscience. BARTS don’t use angora, fur or mohair, and each year they increase their use of recycled and sustainable yarns. The brand insists on a strict code of conduct for its partner factories, and its head office and warehouse in Houthavens is purpose-built to minimise carbon emissions. BARTS employees even get free weekly yoga classes.
