Plain Wool or Cashmere Scarf or Beanie
Preferably a red scarf or a gray/green beanie (darker earth tones). Its a gift so my usual style doesn't apply, want minimalism here. <$150 pretty firm this time around, with shipping to Europe (Germany) required as well.
The gift receiver gave me https://www.asket.com/us/shop/accessories/cashmere-wool-scarf-beige
or
https://isto.pt/collections/knitwear/products/cashmere-beanie-olive
as ideas. Both these brands are rubbing me the wrong way so I'm doing my own research.

Beige Cashmere Wool Scarf | Italian Recycled Wool - ASKET
The Cashmere Wool Scarf in Beige: The ultimate fall-winter accessory. Soft and luxurious feel. Made from 45% recycled cashmere and 55% recycled wool
ISTO.
Cashmere Beanie Olive | ISTO.
Made of 100% Luxury Italian Cashmere by Cariaggi (the world-famous Cashmere mill), this beanie might be the most special and exclusive piece of clothing you’ll ever have in your head. That’s why we’ve made it a limited edition – only 50 units of each colorway have been produced. Not more, not less. It’s truly one-of-a-kind.

Enviromentally responsible fashion doesn't exist lol, but the receiver does care if they are someone more respnsible, I figure some of the irish wool places might be a good spot to go here.
Is cashmere a must?

most of thier beanies and scarfs come in around 100-125 and they are eu based so shipping is way less

If you're still in Boston, go to Drinkwater's. They stock more than just EG. I got a beanie from this japanese brand called Cableami from there that was 100% wool and genuinely great

i think hes shipping to germany so ordering over there is probably easier
I have bad reading comprehension
thanks for correcting
np. those do look sick tho i will be adding if im ever back in boston
oh sorry, just to clarify Lauren Manoogian isn't Boston based. NYC if I'm not wrong
it's just a brand I'm a huge fan of
well even better ill actualy be there
Good tip, I do live down the street from Drinkwaters and I've never been lol
However yes this is for my brother in Germany so getting stuff there is the problem lol
Dropping some vinted Ideas here. If they care about enviromental responsibility that might sit well with them. If any of them are interesting to you I can help w proxy.

those are basically all the red scarves that my scottish knitwear search macro has spit out.
Also hard agree. Asket is fucking annoying.
what's so bad about them?
Nothing in particular
its just pretty transparent anti-consumerism consoom grift https://www.asket.com/us/about-the-pursuit-of-less

ASKET - The Pursuit Of Less - Meaningful Essentials
Meaningful essentials: A permanent collection of zero-compromise pieces - revolutionary sizing, full transparency in manufacturing and priced to reflect their true cost.
again, I have no clue as to their actual production practices, maybe they are actually less shitty than other brands
its just that everytime I read "timeless essentials" my gag reflex triggers and not in the fun sexy way.
yeah their ad copy is the dumbest shit and i have a personal grudge because i grabbed one of their turtlenecks for a work thing and both the fuckin sleeves fell off because the seams were literally unfinished
sells a wool-cashmere blend
not than blends are inherently bad
but if you have that holier than thou thing going up im gonna nitpick
recycled cashmere blends seem to be very prone to pilling, unfortunately.
howlin hats are a win, but they don't sell a scarf he likes: eg: Bordeaux
https://www.houseofbruar.com/cashmere-plain-scarf-green-tf14281bottle/ - some plain cashmere scarves here, I can't find who makes them but they say made in Scotland for some stuff (google not really providing any results so they may be manufactured outwith the UK and not really be any better than what you had in the original post)
