We could rant and rave but, to put it simply, it’s getting cold out so put a hat on. The cable knit hat has gained some fans over the last few years but we’re still fans of a good ol’ ribbed hat. Especially when it’s in oatmeal, which is this season’s colour. Actually we don’t know if it’s this season’s colour – but anything’s preferable to the onslaught of red hatted hikers we saw last winter. (Superdenim)

There was a great piece in yesterday’s Guardian about how everyone ‘getting the look’ leads to everyone looking the exact same. While the writer was talking about Mad Men mania, the same could be said of red cable knit hats. Yes, they look nice but when everyone wears one it kinda defeats the point of why you bought it in the first place (to look good and, more importantly, to look different). So buy this instead. Or don’t. We don’t want everyone looking alike.(Superdenim)

A nice woolie from Highland 2000. “This product contains British wool and has been handframe knitted in England by Highland 2000… Handframe knitting is a process which owes it’s existence to an invention by William Lee of Calverton, Nottinghamshire, 1859. Highland 2000 is a small family run business who carry on this tradition with over 100 years experience of producing quality knitwear.”

It’s turning into scarf weather and we’ve currently got a thing for the fair isle kind. Highland 2000 is finally turning up on British isles via the likes of Superdenim, but this sort of thing will still need you to get all proxylicious. Yeah, we did just say that. (Style Cruise)

It’s always nice to be surprised. We’d not heard of Highland 2000 before but now we have we’ll be keeping tabs on them. Superdenim have these Alpaca wool hats that look great and cost just £40 -  a relative pittance for the quality. (Superdenim)
