Kopka is a luxury knitwear brand, from the city of Brühl in the German Rhineland. Kopka has been working in the hat industry since the 1950's - mainly
as a supplier of hat bodies for hat makers worldwide and making quality (Basque) berets.
Kopka is innovative in both design and materials, having come up with the design for the roll-up beret and berets made of pure Himalayan yak wool (the latter presently not in stock).
The Kopka Cotton Beret in 28cm is an unlined, light-weight beret made of 100% soft cotton. One-size that easily stretches to size.
The Classic Beret in 28cm is an unlined, mid-weight Basque beret made of 100% soft spun merino wool. One-size that easily stretches to the largest head size.
The Classic XL mid-weight Beret is a typical gaucho/Chasseur Alpin beret in 32cm diameter. Unlined, one-size, 100% soft spun merino wool. An excellent wool beret for warmer weather and in-between seasons.
The Kopka Roll-Up beret is a classic Basque beret, made of 100% fine merino wool, with a prolonged brim. The brim can stretch over the ears, rolled up like a regular Basque beret or folded to create a Cossack style hat. A great winter hat with so many ways to vary in style.
Kopka Clochard / Tom Waits Hat
The Clochard or Tom Waits Hat is not a beret, but surprisingly, the manufacturing process is practically identical.
You can wear it as it is, cloche-shape, turn it into a porkpie or fedora style hat, or wear it like a beanie. With all the volume it offers, there is even space enough for dreadlocks. Each hat comes with a small booklet for inspiration. 100% Merino wool, one-size.
Presently available in the colour mixes Emerald/Black, Grey mix/Black, Midnight blue-Black and Camo Green @ $55.55.
