Adaptability and warmth
The Corabells cap from BARTS is a versatile mix between an everyday cap and an Ushanka-type fur hat. In this sense, you can have both eye protection and ear protection for those sunnier winter days. The earmuffs can be worn up or down too, with an adjustable fitting system to suit a range of sizes. The ear flaps themselves are lined with animal-friendly faux fur which is soft to the touch, and incredibly warm. The cap, on the other hand, is made from a warming fabric to ensure you don’t lose heat from above. Adaptability and warmth all-in-one; this is a handy hat for your next icy adventure

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.
