Legionnaire-style cap with detachable back flap

There’s a region the legionnaire’s cap has remained a hot-weather travel and hiking staple for so long. The peak shades your eyes from the sun, while the long flap round the back stops your ears and neck getting lobstered. While undeniably practical, however, it can be a bit of a statement look when you’re not out in the field – so it’s nice that this Mitirapa cap from BARTS gives you the option to detach the back flap for a more conventional baseball cap style. Made in lightweight, quick-drying fabric, the Mitirapa is a useful and adaptable companion for global adventurers.

Isn’t it funny how many outdoor brands seem to have started out with one man and a sewing machine? In 1986, the man was Bart Koene and the place was sun-soaked St Tropez. Bart originally knocked up handmade swimming shorts to sell on the beach, but one day a stylish friend was helping him flog his wares when a passing tourist tried to buy her bandana. Bart knew an opportunity when he saw one, and quickly branched out into headwear and other accessories.

Now based in Amsterdam, BARTS has come a long way since ‘86. In fact, the brand offers more than 2,500 products including hats, beachwear and bags. But it’s about quality, not quantity. This is clobber with conscience. BARTS don’t use angora, fur or mohair, and each year they increase their use of recycled and sustainable yarns. The brand insists on a strict code of conduct for its partner factories, and its head office and warehouse in Houthavens is purpose-built to minimise carbon emissions. BARTS employees even get free weekly yoga classes.
