Engage goblin mode! The Ernesto from KAVU is the shamelessly comfy fleece romper suit of your dreams. Built in 100% recycled fluffy polar fleece, it's got the obligatory hood, plus ribbed cuffs and jersey-lined handwarmer pockets. Combine it with a rainy day, a dog, a sofa and the complete Lord of the Rings trilogy, and you're about as close to hibernation as human life permits. And while comfort is clearly the aim of the game, we can't help admiring the eye-catching prints and block colour schemes. Good enough to wear out – or at least as far as your doorstep when the Deliveroo man turns up.

Now here’s an origin story for you. Back in the early nineties, fishing boat skipper Barry Barr was fed up with wearing cheap trucker caps that got snatched off his head in storms, never to be seen again. He decided to make a super-durable cap that wouldn’t blow off whatever the weather, and he did it by stitching the webbing material from a Teva sandal all the way around the crown. Turned out his ‘Strapcap’ was a hit, and KAVU was born.
From humble beginnings flogging Strapcaps out of the boot of his car in Seattle, Barry’s since expanded to produce a whole array of durable outdoor kit with a laid-back, van-lifer vibe. The KAVU range takes in everything from sling bags to swim shorts, and while they’re serious about producing great gear that’s made to last, they’re also not afraid to have a laugh. Their prints are bold, playful, and in some cases so loud that they’ll take some considerable chutzpah to carry off – but that’s what makes them so much fun.
And if you’re wondering about the name, KAVU is an aviation acronym that stands for ‘klear above, visibility unlimited’. It means it’s a perfect day for an adventure.
