Product Overview
The Scruffs Trade bobble hat is a refined essential for any professional working in exposed or low-temperature environments. Combining a classic aesthetic with advanced thermal technology, this hat is designed to provide reliable warmth without the bulk often associated with winter headwear. The inclusion of a 3M Thinsulate lining ensures that heat is retained efficiently, making it a dependable choice for long shifts in the British winter.
Key Features
- 3M Thinsulate Microfleece Lining: This specialised lining provides superior thermal insulation while remaining lightweight, ensuring you stay warm in the harshest conditions.
- Quick-Drying Acrylic Fabric: The outer shell is engineered to dry rapidly, which is essential for maintaining comfort and hygiene during wet weather.
- Stretch Fit Construction: The flexible knit ensures a secure and comfortable fit for all head sizes, preventing the garment from slipping during physical activity.
- Amfori BSCI Certification: This accreditation ensures that the product has been manufactured under ethical working conditions, reflecting a commitment to responsible sourcing.
Design & Performance
Constructed from high-quality acrylic, the Trade bobble hat is built to withstand the rigours of daily site work. The fabric is chosen for its resilience and ability to hold its shape over time, even with frequent use. Inside, the padded 3M Thinsulate microfleece provides a soft, non-irritating barrier against the skin, while the thermal properties of the material trap body heat effectively.
Performance-wise, the hat excels in moisture management. Unlike traditional wool, the synthetic fibres do not hold onto water, meaning the hat won't become heavy or uncomfortable if caught in a downpour. It is a well-engineered garment that prioritises the practical needs of the tradesperson.

Practical Advice
As this is a 'one size fits all' garment with a generous stretch fit, it is suitable for a wide range of users. For maximum thermal efficiency, ensure the hat is pulled down to cover the ears, where heat loss is often most significant. This hat layers well under hooded jackets for added protection in extreme wind.
Caring for your product
To ensure your bobble hat maintains its shape and thermal properties, we recommend a machine wash at 30°C. This lower temperature is sufficient for cleaning while protecting the integrity of the 3M Thinsulate lining and the acrylic fibres.
You should avoid the use of bleach, as this will lead to significant discolouration and weaken the fabric structure. Similarly, do not dry clean the garment, as the harsh chemicals used in the process can damage the microfleece lining.
Do not tumble dry the hat; instead, allow it to air dry naturally. High heat from a dryer can cause the acrylic to shrink or warp. For the same reason, ironing should be avoided entirely, as the heat can melt the synthetic fibres and ruin the finish of your custom branding.
