In the certified segment, the Andy differs from the Wind-S in two construction characteristics: the single layer with a pronounced rib texture and a noticeably wider side area — 12×4.5 cm on all four sides, front, back, right and left. It is a beanie designed for anyone who wants maximum customisation around the hat's full perimeter, not just on the front.
9 colourways, real photos.

The single-layer ribbed construction in and certified recycled polyester offers a visually more defined texture than smooth circular knit, with an aesthetic profile closer to fashion beanies than sporty ones. The 82-gram weight — higher than the Wind-S — is the result of a denser knit. The 9-colour palette, smaller than the Wind-S, includes a variant (Light Grey Melange) and Acid Green — two aesthetically distinctive options not found in the standard range.
Printing techniques.
A verdict for each one.
What to expect on this specific product, technique by technique.
The Andy has an exceptional embroidery surface for a beanie: 12×4.5 cm on all four sides — front, back, right and left. This is an unusual feature that sets it apart from most beanies on the market, where only the front is easily embroiderable. The ribbed knit requires a stabilising backing. Prefer simple logos with defined lines — the rib texture can blur fine details below 3 mm. Not compatible with 3D puff embroidery.
Patches applicable via perimeter stitching on the front or cuff. Heat sealing is not recommended on elastic ribbed knit. Maximum recommended size: 6×4 cm so as not to distort the knit structure.
It is the choice for brands with an urban aesthetic and for anyone wanting a beanie with visible customisation on every side — a specific requirement for some staff uniform or premium merchandise applications. The composition note indicates the material is undergoing a batch update; always refer to the inner label for the up-to-date composition.

The ribbed beanie with an urban aesthetic is the identity format of contemporary streetwear. The pronounced rib texture, the palette with earth-tone colours (olive, mustard, burgundy) and the melange variant align with current lifestyle brand aesthetics. The double GRS + OEKO-TEX certification adds narrative value for sustainability-minded brands.
The Andy is the merchandise beanie par excellence for creators with a lifestyle aesthetic: the ribbed knit, the curated palette and acid green as a signature option set it apart from standard promotional beanies. Embroidery on every side offers creative customisation options.
