Made in an organic, cotton-rich, loop-back, French Terry fabric, the “One” Hoodie (M132) from Mantis [ 8 ] is all about pared-back and on-the-surface simplicity along with careful construction, says the brand. Wear it to size, or as an on-trend oversized garment. You could roll back the sleeves – there’s no ribbed cuff to get in the way – and enjoy the large decoration surface afforded by the welt pockets which replace the standard kangaroo. w www.mantisworld.com Result Headwear reports that its standout product for 2017 is the new Core Softex Beanie (RC031X) [ 9 ]. “This on-trend slouch hat was launched to meet the market’s demand for a product which offered a vast range of colour options, was able to fulfil large stock orders easily and offered exceptional value with a low price point,” says the brand. The lightweight, oversized beanie is tag-free, knitted double thickness for warmth, supersoft and available in 25 rainbow shades.
