Damsons Merino Beanie Sky Blue

Origins: Historically a dark-blue, knitted woollen cap with a turned-up cuff was worn by enlisted personnel on duty in cold weather. 'Watch Cap' - so named from a sailor's duty of keeping watch. Now an extremely common form of headgear for all hard workers and found all over the world where the climate demands a warm hat, the knit cap can be found under a multitude of local names.

'The beanie' was working apparel associated with blue-collar labourers, including welders, mechanics, and other tradesmen who needed to keep their hair back, but for whom a brim would be an unnecessary obstruction.
