Learn how to wear your Warhammer beanie with style and warmth this winter. Tips for choosing, layering, and caring for your Ogryn and Skaven beanies.
Quick answer
To style a Warhammer beanie for cold weather, choose a snug fit that covers your ears, pair it with a neutral or matching jacket, and follow the care instructions to keep the acrylic soft and the embroidered icon intact.
Why fit matters more than you think
A beanie that is too loose will let cold air in, while one that is too tight can cause discomfort or leave a mark on your forehead. The Skaven Beanie uses a one-size-fits-most design, so it works well for most adults, but if you have a smaller or larger head, the Ogryn Beanie's adjustable style might be a better choice. Both are made from 100% Soft-Touch Acrylic, which provides good insulation without being bulky.
Layering without looking bulky
Acrylic beanies are warm but not windproof. On very cold or windy days, wear a thin fleece or merino wool beanie underneath for extra insulation. Alternatively, you can wear a hood over the beanie for added protection. The Ogryn Beanie's black color makes it easy to pair with any outerwear, while the Skaven Beanie's embroidered icon adds a subtle faction nod that stands out against a plain jacket.
Caring for your beanie so it lasts
Both beanies require low-temperature washing and must not be bleached, dry-cleaned, ironed, or tumble-dried. To keep the soft-touch feel and prevent pilling, hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent and lay flat to dry. Avoid wringing or twisting, which can distort the shape.
How to style your Warhammer beanie in cold weather
- Choose the right fit: Select a beanie that sits snugly on your head and covers your ears completely. The Skaven Beanie's one-size-fits-all design works for most, but if you need adjustability, go with the Ogryn Beanie. A beanie that is too loose will let cold air in; too tight can cause discomfort.
- Pair with your outerwear: Wear the beanie with a jacket or coat in a neutral color (black, gray, olive) so the embroidered icon or the beanie's color stands out. For extra warmth, add a thin fleece beanie underneath or pull a hood over the beanie. Avoid wearing a hood over the beanie if the beanie has a pom-pom or large logo, as it can flatten or distort it.
- Care for it properly: Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent, then lay flat to dry. Do not use bleach, dry cleaning, iron, or tumble dry. This keeps the soft-touch acrylic feeling like new and prevents pilling. Washing in hot water or using a dryer will shrink the acrylic and ruin the fit.
