2012 October 15, Ove Haugen, “Min kurpis skyddar mot smuts och sot [My Cap Protects Against Dirt and Soot]”, in Expressen:Jag blir rörd när jag kommer hem till den pensionerade sotaren Gösta Malmström och hans fru Gull-Britt i Kungsbacka. När vi bestämde att träffas nämnde jag att ett foto på honom i sotarmössa vore trevligt. Han svarade att han inte hade kvar den, men skulle se vad han kunde göra. Nu visar det sig att Gull-Britt har sytt en sotarmössa.- I’m moved when I visit the retired chimney sweep Gösta Malmström and his wife Gull-Britt in Kungsbacka. When we arranged to meet, I mentioned that a photo of him wearing a chimney sweep cap would be nice. He replied that he no longer had one but would see what he could do. Now it turns out that Gull-Britt has sewn a chimney sweep cap.

2023 November 21, Johan Wanloo, “Vi är alla mobbare och borde skämmas [We are all bullies and should be ashamed]”, in Göteborgs-Posten (causerie):Visserligen såg de allt lite knepiga ut. Speciellt i grupp. Man hade aldrig sett så många pyttesmå sotarmössor på sniskan samtidigt förr. Eller tatueringar föreställande ankare och/eller ugglor. För att inte tala om den veritabla vägg av skägg som mötte en på Andra Långgatan runt 2013.- Admittedly, they did look a bit odd. Especially in a group. Never before had anyone seen so many tiny, tilted fisherman beanies at once. Or tattoos depicting anchors and/or owls. Not to mention the veritable wall of beards that greeted you on Second Long Street around 2013.
