Classic fleecy mid-layer but in a crew neck
Ever wished your favourite fleece pullover came with a simple crew neck instead of the usual fussy half-zip Well, KAVU's Japanese customers did too, and the resulting garment looked so cool that they've rolled it out globally. The Crew Who is a handsome hybrid of hiking mid-layer and old-school sweater, with a relaxed fit and a laid-back block colour vibe. They've switched the standard sweater ribbing at cuffs and hem for the more minimalist elastic binding that you'd normally find on outdoor apparel. Likewise, the fabric is the same warm but lightweight 7.5oz recycled polar fleece that KAVU use on their other active mid-layers, and they've added an accent chest pocket in woven polyester with KAVU webbing. They've also reinforced the forearms with their famous 'bar armour' panels to protect the fabric when you're leaning on a sticky bar-top with a cold one in your hand

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.
And if you’re wondering about the name, KAVU is an aviation acronym that stands for ‘klear above, visibility unlimited’. It means it’s a perfect day for an adventure.
