Full size guide →The men's orange beanie, a colour to be seen
Orange was not born in fashion. International orange is used in aviation and the maritime world to set objects apart from their surroundings; the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco wears a lighter shade of it to be better seen by ships. This men's orange beanie takes up that function and makes a look of it: one bright point on a winter silhouette, enough to wake it up without adding anything else.
- Material: 75% wool, 25% angora, knitted
- Origin: made in Scotland
- Detail: deep orange
- Detail: real visibility
- Detail: wool and angora
Cut and sizing
One size: the ribbed, elastic knit fits every head, men and women. It is worn short, with the cuff up, or unfolded over the ears.
How to wear a men's orange beanie
As the only colour, over a black, navy or khaki coat, a pea coat for example: add nothing else bright. On a bike or a winter hike, it makes you visible in the low light at the end of the day. Over raw denim, orange and indigo make a frank contrast, inherited from workwear.
Care
Machine washable at home: hand wash cold, or wool cycle at 30 °C (86 °F) with a wool detergent. Do not rub or wring: press out the water, roll it in a towel, then dry flat, reshaped, away from direct sun. Store folded, with cedar.
A shade laid on the fibre
A vivid colour demands careful dyeing. Here it is applied on the fibre, before knitting, which avoids the premature fading of cheap oranges. It is not a synthetic fluorescent orange but a deep orange, dyed into the wool. It changes little in the wash; simply dry it away from direct sun, which would eventually dull it.
Patina and durability
In three years, this orange will still be seen from far away.
Orange was not born in fashion: it is used at sea and in aeronautics to set an object apart from its surroundings. The Golden Gate wears a shade of it to be better seen by ships. This beanie makes a look of it, in a wool and angora dyed on the fibre and knitted in Scotland. Here is how it ages.
-
firm material, solid color, clean finishes.
-
the piece softens where it works the most.
-
wear creases mark themselves and return from one wear to the next.
-
follow the composition instructions; excessive heat and tumble dryers are to be avoided.
-
borders and friction zones soften first.
-
the color shades with use, without aging all at once.
-
the piece is made: supple, familiar, always holding.
-
a seam, a button, a snag is mended in the workshop.
-
nearly three years: a well-kept piece gains in character what it loses in newness.
A dark coat, a grey sky, and one bright point on the head: that is all it takes to wake up a winter silhouette. It is the beanie of those who aren't afraid to be seen. You notice it, and you remember it.
Lambswool and angora, one piece
The beanie is knitted in Scotland on hand-operated frames, in a fully fashioned knit: it comes off in one piece, with no joining seam that would mark the forehead. Lambswool, at 75%, gives the structure; angora, at 25%, brings softness, and its hollow fibre makes it warmer and lighter than wool alone. The blend breathes: you don't overheat when going from cold to warm.
