this. take a look at h lorenzo or the like. there are so many more interesting beanies for the price using more interesting materials.

this, just realized you can get an attachment beanie from HLO for under $80
this word you keep using, I do not think it means what you think it means

Is there a code for HLO? How are you getting $80 on that?

Nah, get a fold up beanie. 2nd one. Looks more lux than first.

Non-folds like that CoS one is pretty much always bad.
Bigger, slouchier beanies with that sort of stacking effect from SZ brands can look good if you wear them well and suit your face. I think they're a bit harder to pull off without looking like a douchebag (slouchy beanies are generally douchebag beanies here).

I'd say Reedo would have greater luck with a simple turn up. I know I would. Breezy can pull off them slouchy beanies no problem, but he's not got the same look as Reedo.

My "real" size is 41.5, wear 41 in everything boot-ish and in CPs, 42 in Adidas and co.. I think the sidezips in 41 will fit?

Yeah I think that should be about right, if I don't remember wrong they run a little big
But don't take my word for it, I'm really not that read-up on it
