A Rather Splendid Hat That Actually Keeps Your Head Warm
Look, we won't pretend we invented the beanie, but we rather think we've got the formula down. This Abbey Hat is handlinked from 100 percent merino wool, which means it's absurdly soft against your skin and genuinely warm without making you feel like you're wearing a yak. The cable knit design adds a touch of understated polish, all inspired by London's most famous street.
Why Choose Our Abbey Hat
Properly Handcrafted: Each one is linked by hand right here in the UK. No factories, no shortcuts, just proper craftsmanship that actually means something.
Temperature That Works: Merino wool is rather marvellous at regulating temperature. It keeps you warm when it's brass monkeys outside, yet breathes beautifully when things warm up. The fiber absorbs moisture without feeling damp, so your head stays comfortable whether you're hiking or having coffee.
Naturally Odor Resistant: Thanks to merino's antimicrobial properties, this hat won't start smelling like a week-old gym kit. Wash it gently, air dry it, and it bounces back like new.
Actually Sustainable: This isn't greenwashing nonsense. Merino wool is renewable, biodegradable, and built to last. With decent care, your hat becomes one of those pieces that gets better with age.
Product Details
Material: 100 percent merino wool from UK sheep
Craftsmanship: Designed and made entirely in the UK, linked by hand
Care: Gentle wash, air dry to maintain softness and shape
Inspiration: The name nods to Abbey Road in Westminster, home to legendary Abbey Road Studios where the Beatles and countless other artists created absolute classics. That zebra crossing outside the studio has become rather iconic indeed.
This is the sort of hat you'll actually reach for, season after season. Rather good, that.
SHIPPING + RETURNS
THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS
This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.
SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.
Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.
At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.
We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!
RETURNS
You have 14 days to return items.
Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!
🌍 PLEASE CHOOSE THOUGHTFULLY:
Our wonderful partners put their hearts into everything they make.
Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect.
Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience. Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — step inside, explore our world, and see what catches your imagination.
Giving Back
We’re proud to support Sutton Night Watch, a grassroots UK charity making a real difference in the lives of those facing homelessness. Through regular donations of stock, supplies, and essentials, we back their mission to offer warmth, dignity, and practical help to anyone in need — right where it matters most.
