FAQ
What are your hats made of and why merino wool?
We sew our hats in Poland from 100% mulesing-free merino wool. We source the yarn from Italy, where it's also dyed. All the tags and trims come from Poland.
Merino wool is one of the best materials you can wear all year round:
- Perfect for all-year wear — it insulates in the heat and warms you in the cold.
- Brilliant at absorbing moisture — it can soak up water equal to 30% of its weight and still feel dry to the touch.
- Doesn't hold onto smells — after a night at the pub it won't reek of soup (well, at least a lot less).
Our range also includes hats made from GRS-certified recycled wool for those who want an even more sustainable choice.
What's the difference between merino wool and recycled wool?
Merino wool works better as an all-year beanie - pop it on in July and you'll still be comfy. With recycled wool - not necessarily; it's more of a product for the colder part of the year.
Merino wool has more sheen and is softer, while recycled wool is more matte and rougher to the touch.
Merino wool doesn't scratch your forehead, whereas recycled wool does scratch a little (just like ordinary sheep's wool, no more than that). But if you've got a sensitive forehead - merino is the choice for you.
What's the deal with mulesing and why is your wool "mulesing-free"?
Mulesing is a painful practice carried out on merino sheep, involving removing skin around the tail — meant to prevent parasitic diseases. Sadly it's still common in the wool industry.
The yarns we use come from sheep raised without mulesing, and the manufacturer's guarantee confirms it.

How do I care for a merino wool hat so it lasts a long time?
Merino wool is exceptionally resistant to smells and dirt, so washing it less often will extend its life.
- Preferably hand-wash at up to 30°C or on a wool programme, if you trust your washing machine (some machines treat wool nicely and some really don't)
- Use a delicate-fabric detergent or a wool shampoo.
- Don't wring it out — gently press the water out and lay it flat to dry.
- Don't hang it on a hanger — wet wool stretches under its own weight.
- Don't iron. Don't tumble dry.
Remember that any natural yarn (without synthetic blends) will move around a bit - stretching slightly with use and shrinking slightly in the wash. These processes should more or less balance each other out.
What should I do if my hat has stretched?
Nothing, as long as the hat is still comfy and doesn't cause any problems in use.
100% wool (without a synthetic blend) will always move around to some degree - moulding to the shape of your head as you wear it and shrinking in the wash. As long as this doesn't happen too dramatically, everything's fine - the hat will stretch a bit with use and go back to roughly its old size after a wash.
If a stretched hat is causing problems in use (e.g. slipping down over your eyes) - drop us a line, we'll help.
What should I do if my hat has shrunk in the wash?
If it ended up in a regular 40-degree wash, you can start planning the funeral.
People of great faith say you can dampen it with lukewarm water and stretch it by force, and then there's a chance of getting a few centimetres back. All of them - probably not.
Do you offer in-person collection?
No, because we'd go mad. Even without in-person collection we're already far too close to it.
Do you handle wholesale or business orders?
You bet! Our clients include business sharks like Canal+ and Autopay, but also big fish from the world of culture - the Nowe Horyzonty Foundation, the Inside Seaside Festival and the Boska Komedia Theatre Festival.
If you're after quality clothing products - drop us a line. The minimum order is 50 pieces. Get in touch via our contact form - tell us what you need and we'll get back to you.
What's the weight of the corduroy in your hats?
It varies. The rib width varies just as much - we source our corduroy from several independent factories. To make choosing easier, in each product description you'll find the corduroy thickness and rib width rated from 1 to 5 (1 - thinnest, 5 - thickest)
We share the profits:
Working
with the MARE Foundation
We support the MARE Foundation - which works to educate about and protect Baltic ecosystems.
Sometimes that's help with communications, sometimes we simply make a transfer.
Thanks to that, we've topped up the foundation's account with 35084.76 PLN so far (as of 01.03.2026). One person will say - not much, another will say - hardly anything. I'll say: in the early years our revenue was roughly 2 potatoes, so it's really OK .
By buying our stuff, you make it so we've got something to share. And when we do - we're glad to, because we reckon everyone should.

Our merino wool comes 100% from farms where the sheep aren't mutilated in the mulesing process.
We use recycled wool, including GRS-certified yarn.
We pack in paper, with no film, plastic or other faff that instantly turns into yet another bit of rubbish.
