Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between cashmere, wool, and wax leather in this collection?

▼

Cashmere is soft, warm for its weight, and the fibre used across most of the knitted beanies and berets in the range. The wool pieces are more robust and traditional in feel. Wax leather caps are water-resistant and structured, better suited to wet weather than a knitted hat.

How does a cashmere beanie or beret feel to wear?

▼

Lighter than most people expect, and softer than standard wool. Kiltane's cashmere has a fine, close knit that sits weightlessly on the head, with none of the scratchiness against the forehead or ears. The ribbed cuff sits comfortably at the brim without cutting in, even after a long day.

Which is warmer, a beret or a beanie?

▼

A beanie, in most cases. Beanies cover more of the head and can be pulled down over the ears, which is where most heat is lost. A beret sits higher on the head and works well in transitional weather, but a beanie is warmer on the coldest days.

Are the unisex beanies cut for men and women equally, or sized larger for men?

▼

The unisex beanies are cut to fit men and women equally. The knitted cashmere stretches to accommodate different head shapes, and the ribbed cuff holds the shape without cutting in. For a woman with a smaller head, the fit is comfortable rather than loose.

How long can a cashmere beanie or beret be expected to last?

▼

Years of regular winter wear, with reasonable care. Cashmere is more robust than its reputation for delicacy suggests, and these are hats built to be worn rather than saved for special occasions. Hand wash at 30°C, lay flat to dry, and a cashmere hat will hold its shape season after season.

Is a cashmere beanie or beret a safe gift when you don't know the recipient's size or style?

▼

One of the safer cashmere gifts to buy. The cashmere beanies come in one size and stretch to fit, so there is no fit risk. Choice comes down to colour, and the neutral tones in the range work across most wardrobes without needing to know a specific preference.
