The ideal winter hat should have both an aesthetic and practical function. But how to find the right model? There are a few criteria to consider when shopping – the first is the cut, preferably one that fits your face shape. The second one is colour – in this matter follow your individual taste. Remember that a darker hat will be much more practical than one in white or beige. The size and material of the hat plays a key role. Winter is a time when you face the sun as well as the rain or snow, so the perfect model should be able to cope with either situation. So what fabrics are best for winter chills? Our answer – natural! Wool, leather, cotton

A docker is a typically masculine headwear, which has a tradition of over 100 years. In the past, it was worn by port and dock workers, which is how it got its name. Its characteristic element is the lack of a visor – nowadays you can find dockers made of different materials, but during winter you will definitely choose those made of wool or natural leather.  Sterkowski offers many interesting models – one of them is undoubtedly a woolen docker with drawstring, available in several subdued colours. Admirers of more elegant models will certainly like the hat made of original Scottish Harris Tweed with the „herringbone” pattern. A more contemporary version of the docker is the beanie, which has been popular for several seasons. It’s a headwear that you’ve certainly seen more than once on the streets of big cities and small towns. Beanies are worn by people of all ages – both men and women. It’s worth having at least one in your wardrobe – especially a model made of high-quality merino wool will provide you with maximum comfort and convenience, even during various outdoor activities. So? Docker or beanie?
