Full size guide →The men's speckled grey beanie, a colour that is built
This men's speckled grey beanie has the colour of wet granite. In full winter sun it tends toward silver; under a low sky, it moves closer to stone. The result comes from the spinning: tufts of darker fibre are introduced into the yarn before it is spun. The colour is therefore not laid on the surface of the knit, it is in the material. It is the same principle as the Donegal tweeds, where small strands of colour, inserted at irregular intervals, give the cloth its heathered look.
- Material: 100% wool, knitted
- Origin: made in Scotland
- Detail: lively grey
- Detail: colour in the material
- Detail: resistance to shine
A fleck that hides wear
This construction has a direct effect on lifespan. A flat dye ends up going shiny at the rubbing points; the fleck keeps blurring the eye and hides wear. Lighter than a heather grey in the base, the speckled grey is also more contrasted: its dark points stay clearly visible, where a heather stays uniform.
Knitted in Scotland, without a seam
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. No ridge marks the forehead, even under a hood. Lambswool gives hold; angora, whose hollow fibre traps air, makes it warmer and lighter than wool alone. It is the trapped air that insulates, not the thickness: the beanie stays thin.
Cut and sizing
One size: the elastic rib fits every build, men and women. Its thinness makes it comfortable as a second layer, under a hood, without squeezing the skull.
How to wear a men's speckled grey beanie
With a heathered wool coat: two different greys work better than an identical grey, the material makes the nuance. Over raw denim, a denim jacket for example, the light grey wakes up the deep blue where a navy beanie would melt away. At the end of the day, cuff down over the ears, when the temperature suddenly drops.
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. Store folded, away from light, with cedar.
Patina and durability
In three years, this grey will still be the colour of wet granite.
In full winter sun it tends toward silver; under a low sky it moves closer to stone. Its colour comes from the spinning: darker fibres are introduced into the yarn before it is spun, as in Donegal tweeds. Knitted in Scotland, with no joining seam. Here is how it lives.
-
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 plain grey is well-behaved; this speckled grey is alive. It changes with the light and hides wear at the rubbing points. It is the beanie for those who want discretion with character.
