“What would you like madam/sir? A slouchy beanie, oversized beanie, skull beanies, Peruvian beanies visor cuffless beanie or maybe a Cuffed visor beanie we’ve got the lot!”


“oh! And what colour would you like red, olive green, purple, baby blue? The fabrics … THE FABRICS!!!! Well we’ve 100% acrylic oversized beanies … perfect for your pocket, the cable rib oversized beanie, a distressed look oversized beanie …. etc etc etc


For the past 3 seasons here at Urban Excess, we’ve constantly had to update our range of beanies and in particular the ubiquitous oversized beanies. For hat’s that have their deep roots firmly embedded in a relatively poor background, beanie hats are truly en vogue and are set to be so for Autumn/Winter 2008.



Being a Northern boy, I’d love to think that beanie hats had their historic creation from the now defunct coalmines that pepper the North East of England. However I think the development of what we now consider a standard beanie hat is simply from a piece of cloth worn on the head to keep either the sun or cold at bay.


Due to the masses of heat lost through the cranium, beanie hats offer a stylish and feasible alternative to wearing a jumper on your ponce. I think the points above are highlighted in the Peruvian beanie hats


Colour and style wise, I’ve enclosed a couple of piccys of our favs (particularly from Goorin) … have a look and if you want one; either click on the photo, visit www.UrbanExcess.com or alternatively drop me a mail and I’ll personally help you!!!


All the best,


Tom
