Made in an organic, cotton-rich, loop-back,
French Terry fabric, the “One” Hoodie (M132)
from Mantis [8] is all about pared-back and
on-the-surface simplicity along with careful
construction, says the brand. Wear it to size, or
as an on-trend oversized garment. You could
roll back the sleeves – there’s no ribbed cuff to
get in the way – and enjoy the large decoration
surface afforded by the welt pockets which
replace the standard kangaroo.

Result Headwear reports that its standout
product for 2017 is the new Core Softex Beanie
(RC031X) [9]. “This on-trend slouch hat was
launched to meet the market’s demand for a
product which offered a vast range of colour
options, was able to fulfil large stock orders
easily and offered exceptional value with a low
price point,” says the brand. The lightweight,
oversized beanie is tag-free, knitted double
thickness for warmth, supersoft and available in
25 rainbow shades. It is suitable for embroidery.

The Contrast All-in-One (CC003) [10] is one of
Comfy Co’s latest styles and the brand says it “is
the ultimate lazy day essential”. It is crafted with
a lighter weight fabric and features contrasting
sleeves, drawcords, cuffs and hood lining for
a stylish finish. It is available in sizes XS-2XL in
seven contrasts.

Russell Europe has added three new styles to its
Authentic Sweat Collection for 2017, including
the Authentic Sweat Jacket (267M) [ 11]. The
brand says it “looks fantastic with its straighter
cut and cadet collar”, adding: “Sporty but ele-
gant, this style is certain to be in high demand
with the retail, promotions, travel, tourism and
education sectors. The Authentic Collection
is already highly sought after in the college
sector and this Authentic Jacket looks set to be
another winner.”

Result’s Top Pick for 2017 is its Snow Bird
Hooded Jacket (R194M&F), a luxurious, light-
weight, water-repellent, windproof, down-feel
jacket that Result says “thrives in cold weather
conditions, and performs both on the hills and
around the town” [ 12]. The handfilled polyester
fibre filling and the integral adjustable hood are
said to deliver impressive overall upper body
warmth, while the jacket also packs down to a
super compact size. The women’s style (R194F)
comes in sizes XS-2XL (8-18) and the men’s
(R194M) in sizes S-3XL. Both come in a choice
of five colourways.

Just Hoods by AWDis is very excited about the
Sports Polyester Hoodie (JH006), which is one
of the brand’s 11 new products for 2017 [13].
This American style hoodie is on-trend and ide-
al both for casualwear and for working out at
the gym. It is great for layering and is designed
with a comfortable kangaroo pouch and a
stylish three-panel hood. It is available in sizes
S-2XL in a choice of 10 shades.

Regatta Professional says its new Ice Storm Par-
ka (TRA382) [14 ] combines style and practical-
ity, calling it one of its “most fashion-forward
designs”. A detachable hood with a removable
faux fur trim is teamed with thermo-guard in-
sulation and windproof fabric, while waterproof
Hydrafort 5000 peached polyester provides
reliable protection from the great outdoors.
Other features include chest pockets, zipped
handwarmers and cargo pockets. Due to de-
mand following its introduction this season, the
Parka is now available in two great new colours
for 2017: classic red and bayleaf.
