Exceptionally fine and naturally intelligent, merino wool is prized for its ability to regulate temperature while remaining soft against the skin. Designed by nature to adapt, it provides warmth in cooler conditions and breathability when temperatures rise.
We source our chunky merino from Peru and our extrafine and superfine merino is supplied by industry favourites Zegna Baruffa (Est. 1850), Papi Fabio (Est. 1890) and Lanerossi (Est. 1817).
Naturally adapts to your body, keeping you warm or cool as needed.
Moisture-wicking fibres keep you fresh, dry, and comfortable.
Light yet warm, with natural strength and shape retention.
Ultra-fine fibres feel exceptionally soft against sensitive skin.
Requires less washing and resists creasing.
Renewable, biodegradable natural fibre.

"One of the comfiest hats I’ve ever bought. Hats of any kind normally irritate my head and always appear the wrong size for my head but this I could wear all day and it fits perfectly. The quality of the hat is and material is evident when you see it in person"
"Excellent quality. Worth paying more than your average cost of a Beanie."
"I wear a hat all day every day during the cold month the Fisherman Beanie has quickly become my go to hat when I'm not working. It's extremely comfortable, no itching or over heating. The fit it perfect no squashed ears! Highly recommend"
"Very pleased I spent more to get a quality cap. It is surprisingly heavy, with a dense knit. And it is well made. Not bulky on the head. I'm small & it still looks like a skull cap, not a gnome's hat."
"Bought for my son for Christmas, he was very happy"
