Scandi style

When winter approaches and the mercury plunges, any discerning chap dons a warm hat. But just because you need to wrap up warm doesn’t mean that you need to go full yeti and compromise on style. The Gregoris Beanie from BARTS is a soft knitted cap featuring a stylish Norwegian pattern and turn-up edging. With a fleece headband this hat will keep you snug even on those crisp, clear winter mornings. And if you’re a man who likes to pair his accessories, then the Gregoris Col is the perfect partner

• 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.

It's warm and goes well with my winter gear.
