This men's watch cap keeps the shape: a tight ribbed knit, a double cuff that doubles the thickness over the ears, and no joining seam that could itch under a hood. Navy is the most logical colour: it stands up to wear without ever looking dirty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 75% wool, 25% angora, knitted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: made in Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetail: watch cap heritage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetail: wool and angora\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetail: knitted in Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKnitted in Scotland in one piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cap is knitted in Scotland, on hand-operated frames, in a fully fashioned knit: it comes off the frame in one piece, with no cutting or joining seam. Nothing marks the forehead after two hours of wear. The wool is dyed in the fibre before knitting, which gives the navy a stable colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLambswool and angora\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blend pairs 75% lambswool, which gives hold and elasticity, with 25% \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Angora_wool\"\u003eangora\u003c\/a\u003e, which brings softness. Angora fibre is hollow: it is warmer and lighter than wool alone, because it traps air without adding weight. The cap breathes, so you go from the cold of the street to the warmth of a café without getting too hot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCut and sizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne size: the ribbed knit, elastic by construction, fits every head size, men and women.
