This Vidat Beanie from BARTS takes a more refined approach to winter headwear. The fine-gauge knit creates a sleeker profile than most beanies, giving you a more polished look that works just as well with smart casual clothes as it does with outdoor gear. Made from a blended yarn that’s 50% recycled, it's got a soft handle with just enough stretch for a comfortable fit. A small percentage of wool in the mix adds natural warmth, while the 7cm turn-up sits neatly without adding bulk. The fine ribbed texture creates subtle vertical lines that elongate rather than widen, making for a beanie that feels more grown-up and restrained than oversized streetwear and workwear styles. Because sometimes you just need a decent beanie that does the job without drawing attention to itself.
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.
