What we call a "Re-source fabric" is a leftover surplus fabric that has not been used. By sewing a hat or cap from a leftover fabric contribute to sustainability and circular flows in the textile industry, by using the resources available instead of producing new fabrics.
The hats and caps where we use Re-Source fabrics is an excellent environmental choice as it is made of leftover fabrics that do not go to waste.
We work with the company Rekotex in Borås, Sweden. Rekotex is a company that is offering surplus fabrics from fashion companies to other textile companies.
To measure your hat size, wrap a tape measure around your head just above your ears. The tape should fit comfortably – not too tight. Round up to the nearest size.
If you have no tape measure, you can measure with a string, which you then measure with a ruler.

An Ivy Cap is a part of the Flat cap family, the Ivy cap sometimes also called Sixpence cap, Scally cap or Duckbillcap.
The Ivy Cap offers a minimalistic style that is both functional and fashionable. Ivy caps have a more rounded shape, which makes it tighter than a regular Flat cap.
Ivy caps can also be sewn in 6-pieces (Sixpence) and have a similar look to Newsboy caps, however, these caps have a leaner body than the paperboy and they omit the button at the top.
