Ever done that thing where you rest your forearms on the bar while you wait to order, only to realise that it’s covered in stale beer and sticky spilled sambuca? Apparently, the folk at KAVU have too. Their Teannaway fleece comes with what they call ‘bar armour’ – a reinforced woven fabric overlay that runs from elbow to wrist. Apart from that, the Teannaway is your classic relaxed fleece pullover for chillier evenings on the beach or campsite, built in KAVU’s signature surf style. No boring block colours here, thank you very much – these patterned prints ooze plenty of fun and charm. The half-placket neck features rubberised snaps and taffeta detailing, and there’s a cosy kangaroo pass-through pocket to keep those hands toasty warm when you’re standing around the campfire

Now here’s an origin story for you. Back in the early nineties, fishing boat skipper Barry Barr was fed up with wearing cheap trucker caps that got snatched off his head in storms, never to be seen again. He decided to make a super-durable cap that wouldn’t blow off whatever the weather, and he did it by stitching the webbing material from a Teva sandal all the way around the crown. Turned out his ‘Strapcap’ was a hit, and KAVU was born.
From humble beginnings flogging Strapcaps out of the boot of his car in Seattle, Barry’s since expanded to produce a whole array of durable outdoor kit with a laid-back, van-lifer vibe. The KAVU range takes in everything from sling bags to swim shorts, and while they’re serious about producing great gear that’s made to last, they’re also not afraid to have a laugh. Their prints are bold, playful, and in some cases so loud that they’ll take some considerable chutzpah to carry off – but that’s what makes them so much fun.
