Chocolate Fish Merino-Possum Beanie
I like my hats so I do. For this winter’s cold camps, I have here from Chocolate Fish a Merino-Possum Beanie.
First off, it’s almost impossible to describe just how soft this beanie is. Possibly it’s akin to floating in warm water under clear summer skies, surrounded by dinghies full of exotic maidens who hold bowls of fine 900-fill down to their bosoms, and scatter handfuls of it upon you as you doze lightly to the soothing strains of King Crimson’s Court of the Crimson King.
Anyway, it’s in that currently popular oversize style, that means you can pull it down over your neck or fold it up and have a cuff it that’s your bag. It’s reversible too as it’s double-thickness, plain on one side, racing stripes on the other.
I have plans for this beanie, so it’ll be a regular feature on here when the snows come in earnest. I’ll flag up how it washes after the first night I sleep/sweat in it too.
I know, I know, there’s no purple option on the website. This is a sample from NZ, and it’s mine.






















One can never have too many hats, I feel, though my preference is red :-)
Kia ora,

I used to give my guitars names…
Bring the joy of NZ purple to the UK I say!
I agree with that sentiment. If they were called the All Purples instead of the All Blacks, we’d actually be able to beat ‘em!
I was so taken with the description I bought one… not heard any King Crimson yet though. Stripey ones wud be good!
A call my my bike “The Dawg” because it’s a Kona Dawg. My previous bike was another Kona Dawg, which was also called “The Dawg”. I couldn’t even stretch to a different name for the new bike :o)
Can’t have enough hats.
