Like a tea cosy for your head
As Billy Connolly once said, you should never trust anyone who, when left alone in a room with a tea cosy, doesn’t try it on. With that in mind, BARTS have created this new Mynto beanie, which wouldn’t look out of place warming a pot of rosie on your gran’s tea tray. It’s made in a chunky striped knit with some nice 1970s colourways, and the material is 50% recycled polyester. It’s got plenty of length to pull right down over your ears, and the bobble on the top rounds out its excellent retro credentials

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.
