This unisex Haveno Beanie from BARTS has that deliberately oversized fit that's become a streetwear staple. The generous 11cm turn-up creates a chunky cuffed section, while the loose material at the top gives you that slouchy, slightly subversive look – in the darker colourways there's definitely a hint of cartoon burglar about it, in the best possible way. Made from 100% acrylic, it's very soft and stretchy with just the right amount of give. The vertical ribbed construction runs all the way through, creating clean lines that work whether you're wearing it pulled down low or perched higher on your head. That substantial cuff adds visual weight and helps the beanie hold its shape, while the unisex sizing means it works for anyone. Weight-wise, it hits that sweet spot where it’s warm enough for full-on winter but not so heavy that it’ll boil your head on milder days.
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.
