Key Features
- 100% GRS Certified Recycled Polyester: Each beanie is produced using the equivalent of approximately 2.5 post-consumer plastic bottles, reducing landfill waste while maintaining high performance.
- Double-Layer Knit: This construction creates an insulating pocket of air between the layers, providing superior heat retention in outdoor environments.
- Dual-Style Versatility: The design allows the wearer to choose between a traditional cuffed look for a secure fit or a contemporary slouch style for a more relaxed aesthetic.
- Two-Tone Pom Pom: A subtle design detail that adds character and helps the garment stand out in a professional setting.
- TearAway Label: Ideal for companies looking to provide a completely clean finish or for those who find traditional tags distracting during the workday.
Design & Performance
Engineered for the demands of the British winter, the B450R is a medium-weight beanie that prioritises thermal efficiency. The recycled polyester fabric has been processed to ensure it feels soft against the skin, avoiding the itchiness often associated with lower-quality synthetic knits. The double-layer construction doesn't just provide warmth; it also adds a level of wind resistance, making it an essential piece of outerwear for those working in exposed locations. Despite being made from recycled materials, the fabric retains excellent elasticity, ensuring it maintains its shape and 'memory' even after prolonged daily use.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
The Beechfield B450R is strictly reserved for embroidery. Due to the textured, ribbed nature of the double-layer knit, traditional print methods cannot achieve a stable or aesthetic bond with the fabric. Embroidery, however, allows our expert Telford-based team to stitch your company logo directly into the knit. Our in-house embroidery department, established in 1976, uses precision machinery to ensure every stitch is secure and every logo is sharp. This results in a premium, three-dimensional finish that is exceptionally durable and will not peel or crack, regardless of how many times the hat is worn or washed.
Use Cases
This beanie is a versatile choice for any professional working outdoors, including construction crews, logistics drivers, and site surveyors. Its sustainable credentials also make it a superb option for corporate gifts or for brands operating in the environmental and green energy sectors. Whether used as part of a formal winter uniform or as a practical piece of kit for weekend event staff, the B450R delivers consistent warmth and brand visibility.

Practical Advice
This beanie is supplied in a 'one size' fit, designed to accommodate most adult head shapes comfortably. For those working in high-activity roles, we recommend wearing the beanie in its cuffed configuration to ensure it stays firmly in place. It is a lightweight enough item to be kept in a jacket pocket or glove box, ready for when the temperature drops unexpectedly during a shift.
Caring for your product
To ensure your beanie remains in peak condition and continues to provide maximum warmth, it is important to follow specific care guidelines. Proper maintenance helps preserve the integrity of the recycled fibres and keeps your embroidered logo looking professional.
We recommend a machine wash on a warm setting. Avoid using boiling water, as high temperatures can damage the recycled polyester fibres, leading to a loss of shape and reducing the garment's lifespan.
Do not iron this beanie. The heat from an iron will melt the synthetic polyester fibres and flatten the embroidery, permanently damaging the appearance and texture of the product.
Do not dry clean. The harsh chemical solvents used in dry cleaning are unnecessary for this fabric and can strip the knit of its softness. For best results, simply reshape the beanie while damp and allow it to air dry naturally, which will help maintain the two-tone pom pom's volume and the beanie's overall structure.
