For the urban jungle or, well, the actual jungle
The Heircone is a boonie-style hat for sun-soaked adventures at home or abroad. Made in 100% cotton, it’ll break in and develop plenty of character the more you wear it. The crown, brim and band are each picked out in slightly contrasting colours, meaning it doesn't have the military surplus vibes that similar hats can sometimes give off. The Hiercone has a chin cord to help keep it secured in the wind, while an adjustable inner sweatband will ensure you get the perfect fit

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.
