Andy
The ribbed cuffed beanie in recycled polyester — single-layer construction with a pronounced rib texture for a more structured look. Double certification: GRS for the material and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 for chemical safety. Ideal for embroidery on front, back and sides on ribbed knit. Optimal for urban brands, merchandise and corporate kits — 9 colours including melange and acid green. One size.
We analyze it like an editorial team would. We don't sell it.
In the certified recycled polyester beanie 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 embroidery 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.
The single-layer ribbed construction in GRS and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 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 melange variant (Light Grey Melange) and Acid Green — two aesthetically distinctive options not found in the standard range.
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.

Certifies that the recycled content declared in this product is authentic and traceable through the production chain. Applies to all types of recycled material: polyester, cotton, nylon, wool. The percentage of recycled content stated in the composition is verified, not a marketing claim. It does not assess the environmental impact of the recycling process or working conditions in recycling facilities: it certifies the origin and traceability of the material, not how it was processed.
Certifies that every component of the finished product — fabric, stitching, buttons, labels, prints — has been tested against a list of over 1,000 harmful substances. Guarantees that what you wear contains nothing chemically dangerous to health. It says nothing about how the product was manufactured, by whom, or with what environmental impact: other certifications exist for those verifications. It is the world's most widely used and rigorous chemical safety standard for finished textile products.
