A warm and cozy winter cut above ears beanie cap made of 50% recycled cashmere yarns (with GRS certificate - Global Recycled Standard) and 50% Ultrafine Merino wool. Cashmere is a very fluffy, delicate and soft in touch fabric. Its fibers have a diameter of 16 to 18 microns! That's even less than merino wool fibers.

Merino

Wool obtained from Australian and New Zealand free-range animals is considered the best fabric in the world. It has an amazing ability to absorb moisture, to be exact it is capable to absorb around 30-35% of its weight. Merino wool wicks moisture incredibly well and keeps the skin dry even during intense activity. As it is very skin friendly it doesn't itch the skin. It has antibacterial properties and doesn't cause allergies. Merino wool offers a high UV protection.

Extra Fine Merino

To understand the uniqueness of this type of wool it is essential to know that the diameter and length are basic characteristics when it comes to the quality and use of this fabric. The diameter is measured in microns. A regular wool has fibers that are around 27 to 50 microns thick, human hair has around 45 to 100 microns, Extra Fine Merino fibers have a diameter of 18.6 to 19.5 microns!

That's why it is even more gentle and skin friendly.

HOW TO MEASURE

   
  • To measure your head size get a soft tape measure.
  • Measure around your head above your ears and eyebrows where your hat would normally sit.
  • If your head size falls between two sizes, we recommend that you choose the larger size of the two.
  • If you like loose fit, then please adjust the soft measuring tape in a loose way.

ABOUT US

   
   
     
       

Over 90 years of sewing with pasion

     
     
 
     
Sterkowski has existed since 1926. We are a family company, the third and fourth generation devoted to this craft. We have been working for the company practically since we were children. We often used to spend time after lessons in the workshop helping parents with the production or just getting underfoot. Clatter of the sewing machines, smell of the materials, heat and steam of the presses make up our natural environment. We work for our name and we do it with heart.
   
   
     
       

Traditional sewing techniques

     
     
        
     
We do not produce on a mass scale. Plenty of our products are sown in very small batches or on an order basis. We constantly learn, seek for new inspirations, improve the methods but we are faithful to traditional cap and hat making techniques, which have worked well for 90 years. We are a workshop and we intend to remain one. It is our way.
   
   
     
       

Selection of materials

     
     
        
     
We carefully choose materials for our caps and hats. Headwear is to offer above average comfort, provide ergonomics and be head-friendly. That is why we willingly use materials such as pure wool, cotton, natural linen, Harris Tweed or genuine leather. The best hat is one that we forget about wearing on our head as if it were its part.
